Deep vein thrombosis Author: Dr Martin Hudson, Posted on: 25 July 2009 The subject of Deep Vein Thrombosis and flying remains in the headlines and research continues in this field. In the meanwhile the advice to keep well hydrated, drink only a little alcohol and exercise the legs as much as possible should be followed. Passengers with a previous history of venous thrombosis or who have had recent surgery or any serious illness should consult with their General Practitioner for advice concerning preventive treatment before flying. The use of below knee compression stockings may help but these must be fitted correctly. If they are too tight they may cause thrombosis and if too loose they will not be of any help. Consult your GP or Pharmacist for advice. |
