Allergic and hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis and asthma exacerbations may occur during air travel. Although the exact incidence of in-flight asthma and allergic emergencies is not known, we have concerns that this subject has not received the attention it warrants. There is a need to provide passengers at risk and airlines with the necessary measures to prevent and manage these emergencies. A review of the epidemiology, management and approaches to prevention of allergic and asthma emergencies during air travel is presented with the goal of increasing awareness about these important, potentially preventable medical events.
在航空旅行期间可能会发生过敏和超敏反应,如过敏反应和哮喘发作。虽然飞行中哮喘和过敏紧急情况的确切发生率尚不清楚,但我们担心这个问题尚未得到应有的关注。有必要向有风险的乘客和航空公司提供预防和管理这些紧急情况的必要措施。本文对航空旅行期间过敏和哮喘紧急情况的流行病学、管理及预防方法进行了综述,目的是提高对这些重要的、潜在可预防的医疗事件的认识。
