Abstract

Travel is more affordable and improved high-altitude airports, railways, and roads allow rapid access to altitude destinations without acclimatization. The physiology of exposure to altitude has been extensively described in healthy individuals; however, there is a paucity of data pertaining to those who have reduced reserve. This Physiology in Medicine article discusses the physiological considerations relevant to the safe travel to altitude and by commercial aircraft in patients with pulmonary and/or cardiac disease.

摘要

旅行费用更加低廉，高海拔地区的机场、铁路和道路也有所改善，使得人们无需适应高原环境就能快速抵达高原目的地。健康个体暴露于高原环境下的生理状况已得到广泛描述；然而，关于储备能力下降者的数据却很匮乏。这篇发表于《医学中的生理学》的文章讨论了患有肺部和/或心脏疾病的患者安全前往高原地区并乘坐商业飞机时的生理考量因素。
