肺脏疾病
医生对准备乘飞机的肺脏疾病患者的建议主要依据：（1）类型，可逆性和肺功能异常的严重程度；（2）病人对高空的耐受程度和安全性的评估；（3）预期的飞行高度和持续的时间。对于有严重的心肺疾病的病人，即使是轻度的缺氧可能会导致需要医疗用氧的问题。医生所面临的主要挑战是区分出谁将受益。
Pulmonary Disease
The physician＇s advice to pulmonary patients who intend to fly depends largely on： （1） the type, reversibility, and functional severity of the pulmonary disorder; （2） the evaluation of altitude tolerance and safety for the patient; and （3） the anticipated altitude and duration of the flight. In patients with significant eardiopulmonary disease, even a small degree of hypoxia may lead to problems correctable by therapeutic oxygen. The main challenge facing the physician is to identify those who will benefit from it.
