In the coming decades, as we continue our path of space exploration beyond Earth's orbit, we will be required to provide sound medical and surgical care for the safety of space travellers and space flight participants. A few investigations have taken place in the field of surgery in space. In this paper, the authors review the present literature in order to identify possible limitations that currently exist and that could impair our ability to provide surgical care during spaceflight, from the pre-operative to the post-operative period.
在未来几十年里,随着我们继续探索地球轨道以外的太空,为确保太空旅行者和太空飞行参与者的安全,我们将需要提供完善的医疗和外科护理。太空手术领域已经开展了一些研究。在本文中,作者回顾了当前的文献,以确定目前存在的可能限制因素,这些因素可能会削弱我们在太空飞行期间从术前到术后提供外科护理的能力。
