“经济舱综合症”医学上称为“深静脉血栓栓塞”。有些人认为,由于在飞机上长时间保持一定的姿势,缺乏活动,加之飞机机舱内湿度低、气压低,乘客体内的水分容易丧失,致使血液粘稠度增高,最后形成血栓栓塞。而血栓栓塞带来的并发症,如呼吸不畅,可能会导致人的生命受到威胁。那么,航空旅行与危及生命的静脉血栓栓塞之间到底有无关联性,近年来受到了越来越多的关注。 “Economy class syndrome” medically known as “deep venous thromboembolism.” Some people think that due to lack of activity on the aircraft for a long time to maintain a certain posture, coupled with the aircraft cabin humidity is low, low pressure, the body of passengers easily lose water, resulting in increased blood viscosity, and finally the formation of thromboembolism. Thromboembolism complications, such as poor breathing, may lead to the threat of human life. So, air travel and life-threatening venous thromboembolism in the end whether there is any correlation, in recent years has been more and more attention.
