In the
air flight, individuals rise rapidly to the
environment of low-
pressure hypoxia, low
humidity and high
noise. If we can't adapt to the change of the
environment, we may suffer
headache,
stroke,
epilepsy and other common
nervous system diseases. With the increasing popularity of
aviation, more and more in-flight medical
emergencies are reported.
Aviation medical is gradually concerned and studied by social people, medical internists and scientific
research workers. This article
will summarize the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of common paroxysmal
nervous system diseases in flight, and discuss the prospect of
early warning and prevention of in-flight medical
emergencies.
