Abstract:
In the air flight, individuals rise rapidly to the environment of low-pressure hypoxia, low humidity and high noise. If we can't adapt to the change of the environment, we may suffer headache, stroke, epilepsy and other common nervous system diseases. With the increasing popularity of aviation, more and more in-flight medical emergencies are reported. Aviation medical is gradually concerned and studied by social people, medical internists and scientific research workers. This article will summarize the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of common paroxysmal nervous system diseases in flight, and discuss the prospect of early warning and prevention of in-flight medical emergencies.
