术后飞行与旅行

PDF

上肢手术后旅行或乘飞机前需要考虑的事项——长途旅行中的血栓风险、高海拔环境下的肿胀及石膏过紧问题、何时可以安全乘机,以及机场安检、行李和旅行保险等实际问题。

康复期间出行——提前规划以应对肿胀、血栓风险,并确认您符合飞行条件。 Kieran Hirpara 4.0

大多数人在上肢手术后都能愉快地再次出行,近期手术通常不会成为直接取消行程的理由。但手术确实会改变一些情况,长途旅行(尤其是长途航班)需要稍作规划。以下要点值得您在预订或出发前仔细考虑。如果其中任何一条适用于您,最稳妥的做法是先与我们联系咨询。

长途旅行中的血栓

在长途航班、火车或汽车旅途中长时间静坐,会略微增加腿部深静脉形成血栓的风险,即所谓的深静脉血栓(DVT)。近期手术也会增加这种风险,因此两者叠加时值得认真对待,尤其是在飞行时间超过四小时的情况下。

好消息是,降低风险的方法很简单,而且这些方法也能让任何长途旅行更加舒适:

  • 定期活动。 如果条件允许,每隔一两个小时起身在过道走几步;在乘车旅行时,停车伸展双腿。
  • 坐着时锻炼小腿。 每小时多次上下泵动脚踝并转动双脚。这是小腿肌肉的功能:将血液推回腿部,当您无法起身时,这一点尤为重要。
  • 保持充分补水,并少饮酒和咖啡因,两者都会导致脱水。
  • 有些人被建议穿着压力飞行袜:请咨询我们这是否适用于您。

我们有一个单独的页面,介绍术后在家预防血栓,其中详细说明了深静脉血栓的警示信号及应对措施。建议在出行前阅读,因为同样的建议也适用于旅途中。

肿胀、海拔与您的石膏

飞机客舱内的气压被加压至大致相当于山地海拔的高度,而非海平面。在较低的气压下,组织倾向于轻微肿胀,而正在愈合中的手部或手臂可能会出现比平时更明显的肿胀。如果您佩戴着石膏,这些肿胀无处可去,石膏在飞行过程中可能会开始感觉更紧。

这一点对于新打的石膏尤为重要。在飞行前几天新打上的完整(未劈开)石膏可能需要先沿其长度方向劈开,以便石膏能略微张开以容纳肿胀。大多数航空公司都要求对近期新打的石膏进行此操作,无论情况如何,这都是一项合理的预防措施。不要假设您的石膏已准备好用于飞行:请在出行前与医疗团队确认,如有必要,我们会为您劈开石膏或提供建议。

无论您是否佩戴石膏,在旅途中请保持手臂抬高,将其搁在餐盘桌或折叠的外套上,或使用悬吊带,以便液体回流而不是在手部积聚。同时,请了解石膏过紧的警示信号(疼痛加剧、麻木、针刺感,或手指变苍白、发冷或发紫)。这些内容在我们的石膏护理页面上有详细说明,且需要立即处理,而不是等到飞行结束后。

术后多久可以安全乘坐飞机?

请直接向我们咨询这个问题,因为诚实的回答是视情况而定,这取决于您接受的手术类型、是否使用了全身麻醉、您的愈合情况,以及您的旅行时长和距离。

作为一般参考,手术或全身麻醉后的最初几天到几周是最需要谨慎的时期,且长途飞行比短途飞行需要更长的等待时间。对于较大的手术,外科医生和航空公司通常建议在手术前后数周内避免长途旅行。但这些只是最低标准和粗略的经验法则;您的具体情况可能在任一方向上有所不同。

因此,如果您计划在手术后不久乘坐飞机,或正在预订长途旅行,请在确定日期之前获得我们的许可。这是一次简短的沟通,在机票预订之前进行远比之后进行更容易。

机场安检与您的内固定物

如果您的手术涉及金属(钢板、螺钉、钢丝或小型植入物),您可能会担心机场扫描仪的问题。实际上,大多数手部和上肢手术中使用的小型内固定物通常不足以触发安检扫描仪(大型金属关节置换物则是另一回事)。您通常不需要“植入物卡片”或医生证明,飞行时也不强制要求提供。

话虽如此,如果您希望获得安心,可以向我们索取一份简短的说明,或随身携带您的植入物详细信息。如果扫描仪确实发出警报,只需告知安检人员您曾接受过手术即可。他们对此类情况处理得非常常规,并会指导您完成后续流程。

实用事项

以下是一些让术后旅行更顺畅的零碎建议:

  • 规划好无法提起的行李。 您将无法用手术侧手臂携带、提起或拖拽行李,因此请轻装简行,使用带轮子的行李箱,并安排协助:搬运工、旅行同伴,或通过航空公司预订的协助服务。
  • 在人群中保护手臂。 吊带不仅支撑手臂,还能向周围的人发出信号,让他们在繁忙的航站楼或机舱内为您留出空间。
  • 告知您的旅行保险公司。 这是不可跳过的一项:向您的旅行保险提供商申报您近期的手术,包括任何植入物或计划中的手术。 未申报的近期手术可能导致您无法获得与手术相关的任何保障,而这恰恰是您最需要保障的时候。一个简短的电话或在线申报即可解决此事。
  • 随身携带您的药物(以及任何止痛药)放在手提行李中,长途旅行时请携带处方副本。

出行或乘机前请先与我们确认

以上说明并非意在劝阻您出行。大多数人在手术后出行均无任何问题。但以下几种情况确实值得您在出发前与我们简短沟通:

  • 您计划在手术或全身麻醉后不久乘机
  • 您即将进行长途飞行或长途旅行
  • 您正处于新鲜或完整的石膏固定中,或不确定在乘机前是否需要将石膏切开
  • 您既往有血栓病史,或存在其他导致风险较高的原因

简短的沟通有助于我们根据您的手术和行程提供针对性建议:何时乘机是安全的、您的石膏是否需要处理,以及与您康复相关的任何特定事项。如有疑虑,请在预订前致电病房。

a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes only;

b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and

c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.

Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE.

c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.

Section 6 -- Term and Termination.

a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.

b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:

1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or

2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.

c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.

d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
