Abstract
The PEGASUS study is the first multicentric and prospective assessment of the safety of air travel flying in pulmonary hypertension (PH) (NCT03051763). Data of air travel from 60 patients with PH was available. No severe adverse events occurred. Nine patients self-reported mild adverse events during flight (13%), while after landing, 12 patients reported events (20%). Solely one patient (2%) had an adverse event leading to medical consultation. In patients with PH and World Health Organization functional classes II and III, air travel was safe.
PEGASUS 研究是首次对肺动脉高压(PH)患者空中旅行安全性进行的多中心前瞻性评估(NCT03051763)。该研究获得了60名肺动脉高压患者的空中旅行数据。未发生严重不良事件。九名患者自我报告在飞行期间发生了轻微不良事件(13%),而在着陆后,有 12 名患者报告发生了不良事件(20%)。只有一名患者(2%)因不良事件而就医。对于 PH 和世界卫生组织功能分级 II 级和 III 级的患者来说,空中旅行是安全的。
期刊介绍:
Pulmonary Circulation''s main goal is to encourage basic, translational, and clinical research by investigators, physician-scientists, and clinicans, in the hope of increasing survival rates for pulmonary hypertension and other pulmonary vascular diseases worldwide, and developing new therapeutic approaches for the diseases. Freely available online, Pulmonary Circulation allows diverse knowledge of research, techniques, and case studies to reach a wide readership of specialists in order to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
