Paglipad at pagbiyahe pagkatapos ng operasyon

PDF

Ano ang dapat isaalang-alang bago maglakbay o sumakay ng eroplano pagkatapos ng operasyon sa upper-limb — panganib ng clot sa mahahabang biyahe, pamamaga at pagsisikip ng cast sa altitude, kung gaano kabilis ligtas ang paglipad, at ang mga praktikal na bagay tulad ng airport security, bagahe, at travel insurance.

Isang tao na nakaupo sa paliparan na ang braso ay nakapahinga sa isang sling.
Pagbibiyahe habang nagpapagaling — magplano nang maaga para sa pamamaga, panganib ng clot at pagtiyak na ikaw ay fit to fly. Kieran Hirpara 4.0

Ang pahinang ito ay isinalin ng makina at hindi pa nasusuri ng isang doktor. Ang bersyong Ingles ang siyang opisyal.

Karamihan sa mga tao ay masayang nakakapaglakbay muli pagkatapos ng operasyon sa upper-limb, at ang isang kamakailang operasyon ay bihirang maging dahilan upang kanselahin nang tuluyan ang isang biyahe. Ngunit binabago ng operasyon ang ilang bagay, at ang isang mahabang paglalakbay (lalo na ang isang long-haul flight) ay nangangailangan ng kaunting pagpaplano. Ang mga puntos sa ibaba ay ang mga dapat isaalang-alang bago ka mag-book o umalis. Kung alinman sa mga ito ay naaangkop sa iyo, ang pinakaligtas na hakbang ay ang magtanong muna sa amin.

Mga namuong dugo sa mahahabang paglalakbay

Ang pananatiling nakaupo nang ilang oras sa isang mahabang flight, tren, o biyahe sa kotse ay bahagyang nagpapataas ng panganib ng pagbuo ng clot sa malalalim na ugat ng binti, na tinatawag na deep vein thrombosis, o DVT. Ang kamakailang operasyon ay nagpapataas din ng panganib na iyon, kaya ang dalawang ito nang magkasama ay dapat seryosohin, lalo na sa mga flight na mas matagal sa apat na oras.

Ang mabuting balita ay simple lamang ang mga bagay na nagpapababa ng panganib, at ito rin ang mga bagay na nagpapaginhawa sa anumang mahabang paglalakbay:

  • Gumalaw nang regular. Tumayo at maglakad sa aisle bawat isa o dalawang oras kung kaya mo, at sa biyahe sa kotse, huminto at i-stretch ang iyong mga binti.
  • I-ehersisyo ang iyong mga binti (calves) habang nakaupo. I-pump ang iyong mga bukung-bukong (ankles) pataas at pababa, at i-circle ang iyong mga paa, ilang beses bawat oras. Ito ang trabaho ng calf muscle: ang itulak ang dugo pabalik sa itaas ng binti, at ito ay pinakamahalaga kapag hindi ka makatayo.
  • Manatiling hydrated, at limitahan ang alak at caffeine, na parehong nakakatuyo ng katawan.
  • Ang ilang tao ay pinapayuhang magsuot ng compression flight socks: itanong sa amin kung ito ay naaangkop sa iyo.

Mayroon kaming hiwalay na pahina tungkol sa pag-iwas sa mga clot sa bahay pagkatapos ng operasyon na tumatalakay sa mga warning sign ng DVT at kung ano ang dapat gawin tungkol dito. Makabubuting basahin ito bago ka maglakbay, dahil ang parehong payo ay naaangkop habang nasa biyahe.

Pamamaga, altitude at ang iyong cast

Ang cabin ng isang eroplano ay naka-pressurize sa halos katumbas ng altitude ng isang bundok, hindi sa sea level. Sa mas mababang pressure na iyon, ang mga tissue ay may tendensiyang mamaga nang kaunti, at ang kamay o braso na kasalukuyang gumagaling ay maaaring mamaga nang higit pa kaysa sa karaniwan. Kung ikaw ay may cast, ang pamamagang iyon ay walang mapupuntahan, at ang cast ay maaaring magsimulang maramdamang mas masikip habang nasa flight.

Pinakaimportante ito sa isang bagong-lagay na cast. Ang isang bago at buong (hindi hati/unsplit) na plaster na inilagay sa mga araw bago ka lumipad ay maaaring kailangang hatiin muna sa kahabaan nito, upang maaari itong bumuka nang kaunti at magbigay-daan sa pamamaga. Inaasahan ito ng karamihan sa mga airline para sa isang kamakailan lang na inilagay na cast, at ito ay isang makatwirang pag-iingat anuman ang sitwasyon. Huwag ipagpalagay na ang iyong cast ay handa na para sa paglipad: makipag-ugnayan sa team bago ka magbiyahe, at hahatiin namin ito o papayuhan ka kung kinakailangan.

May cast ka man o wala, panatilihing nakataas ang braso habang nasa biyahe, ipatong ito sa tray table o sa nakatiklop na jacket, o sa isang sling, upang ang fluid ay dumaloy pabalik sa halip na maipon sa kamay. At alamin ang mga warning sign ng isang cast na naging masyadong masikip (tumitinding sakit, pamamanhid, pins and needles, o mga daliri na namumutla, lumalamig o nagiging asul). Ang mga ito ay tinalakay sa aming pahina ng cast-care, at kailangan ng agarang atensyon, hindi sa pagtatapos ng flight.

Gaano kabilis magiging ligtas ang paglipad?

Ito ang tanong na dapat itanong nang direkta sa amin, dahil ang tapat na sagot ay depende, sa operasyong iyong pinagdaanan, kung ikaw ay binigyan ng general anaesthetic, kung paano ang iyong paggaling, at kung gaano katagal at kalayo ang iyong paglalakbay.

Bilang pangkalahatang gabay, ang mga unang araw hanggang linggo pagkatapos ng operasyon o general anaesthetic ang panahon kung kailan pinakaimportante ang pag-iingat, at ang mas mahahabang flight ay nangangailangan ng mas mahabang paghihintay kaysa sa mga maiikling biyahe. Para sa mas malalaking procedure, madalas imungkahi ng mga surgeon at airline ang pag-iwas sa long-haul travel sa loob ng ilang linggo bago at pagkatapos ng surgery. Ngunit ang mga ito ay mga minimum at pangkalahatang panuntunan lamang; ang iyong sitwasyon ay maaaring maging lubhang naiiba sa alinmang direksyon.

Kaya kung nagpaplano kang lumipad agad pagkatapos ng surgery, o nagbu-book ka ng long-haul trip, mangyaring kumuha muna ng clearance mula sa amin bago ka magtakda ng mga petsa. Ito ay isang mabilis na pag-uusap, at mas madaling gawin bago ma-book ang mga ticket kaysa pagkatapos.

Seguridad sa paliparan at ang iyong hardware

Kung ang iyong operasyon ay kinasangkutan ng metal (isang plate, mga screw, wire o isang maliit na implant), maaaring mag-alala ka tungkol sa mga scanner sa paliparan. Sa praktika, ang maliliit na hardware na ginagamit sa karamihan ng operasyon sa kamay at upper-limb ay bihirang sapat ang laki upang mag-trigger ng mga security scanner (iba ang usapan sa malalaking metal joint replacement). Karaniwan ay hindi mo kailangan ng "implant card" o sulat mula sa doktor, at hindi ito kinakailangan upang makalipad.

Gayunpaman, kung nais mo ng kasiguraduhan, maaari kang humingi sa amin ng maikling note o dalhin ang mga detalye ng iyong implant, at kung mag-flag man ang scanner, sabihin lamang sa security officer na ikaw ay naoperahan. Karaniwan na nilang hinaharap ito at gagabayan ka nila.

Ang mga praktikal na bagay

Ilang mga detalye na makatutulong upang maging mas madali ang pagbiyahe pagkatapos ng operasyon:

  • Magplano para sa mga bagaheng hindi mo kayang buhatin. Hindi mo magagawang magbitbit, magbuhat, o humila ng mga bag gamit ang braso na inoperahan, kaya mag-empake nang magaan, gumamit ng mga bag na may gulong, at humanap ng tulong: mga porter, kasama sa pagbiyahe, o asistensyang naka-book sa pamamagitan ng airline.
  • Protektahan ang braso sa mga matataong lugar. Ang sling ay hindi lamang sumusuporta sa braso kundi nagsisilbi ring hudyat sa mga tao sa paligid mo na bigyan ito ng espasyo sa isang busy na terminal o cabin.
  • Ipaalam sa iyong travel insurer. Ito ang hindi dapat laktawan: ideklara ang iyong kamakailang operasyon, kabilang ang anumang mga implant o nakaplano na mga procedure, sa iyong travel insurance provider. Ang isang hindi idineklarang kamakailang operasyon ay maaaring mag-iwan sa iyo na walang coverage para sa anumang bagay na may kaugnayan dito, na siya namang oras kung kailan mo kailangan ang coverage. Isang mabilis na tawag o online declaration lamang ang kailangan para maayos ito.
  • Dalhin ang iyong mga gamot (at anumang pain relief) sa iyong hand luggage, kasama ang kopya ng iyong prescription para sa mas mahahabang biyahe.

Makipag-ugnayan sa amin bago maglakbay o lumipad

Hindi layunin nito na pigilan ka sa iyong pagbiyahe. Karamihan sa mga tao ay naglalakbay pagkatapos ng operasyon nang walang anumang problema. Ngunit may ilang mga sitwasyon na talagang nararapat na isangguni muna sa amin bago ka umalis:

  • nagpaplano kang lumipad agad pagkatapos ng iyong operasyon o general anaesthetic
  • mayroon kang long-haul flight o mahabang paglalakbay
  • ikaw ay nasa bago o full cast, o hindi ka sigurado kung kailangan itong hatiin (splitting) bago ka lumipad
  • nagkaroon ka na ng clot noon, o mayroon kang ibang mga dahilan para magkaroon ng mas mataas na panganib

Ang isang maikling pag-uusap ay nagbibigay-daan sa amin na iangkop ang payo sa iyong operasyon at sa iyong biyahe: kung kailan ligtas lumipad, kung kailangan ng atensyon ang iyong cast, at anumang partikular sa iyong paggaling. Kung nag-aalinlangan, tumawag sa mga rooms bago mag-book.
