Many parents and friends want to take their children out for a trip, but the child has precardiac disease and a bad heart, can the child withstand the long and bumpy hours by airplane or high-speed train? Can children with prediabetes travel by airplane or high speed train? It is certain that most children with prediabetes can travel by airplane or high-speed train, except for a few children with serious conditions. When people travel by airplane or train, some people experience motion sickness and airsickness, which is medically known as “motion sickness”. Especially in airplanes, aircraft takeoff, landing or in-flight bumps, shaking, often make people feel dizzy, tinnitus, chest tightness and other discomfort. Of course, not all people will experience motion sickness on airplanes and high-speed trains. The function of the vestibular organ (the ability to maintain balance) in the human ear has a great deal to do with “dizziness”. Therefore, as long as the vestibular function is normal and the heart function allows, children with precordial disease can travel on airplanes and high speed trains. For children with precordial disease who are mild and usually have no obvious symptoms, there is no need to be concerned about traveling by airplane or high-speed rail. If you are worried about air or train sickness, you can give your child some medication to prevent motion sickness before leaving home. Note: Motion sickness medication has certain effects on neurodevelopment and should always be taken under the guidance of a pediatric specialist for younger children. children under 1 year of age should never take motion sickness medication. For children with severe symptoms of precordial disease, if the bruising is severe, and if they are usually prone to “hypoxic attacks” or recurrent heart failure, they should not take airplanes or boats. This is because once motion sickness occurs, it will aggravate the child’s original symptoms. Children with serious conditions, often with poor heart function, are generally not recommended to travel. If you have to travel, it is best to ask a professional nurse or doctor to accompany you and bring oxygen bags and emergency medicine. Children who recover from surgery and are discharged from the hospital with a normal review are allowed to fly without strict restrictions. It is recommended to take a large and spacious airplane, which is still quite smooth and safe as long as it does not encounter strong air currents or wind waves. Note: How long after surgery can a child with precocious heart disease take a flight? As long as the surgery is successful, the recovery after surgery is basically normal, and the child has no special discomfort symptoms, he or she can take airplanes and trains, no matter which type of surgery, after being discharged home from the hospital after surgery. As for 1 month after the surgery, there is even no problem. When a child with precordial disease takes a plane, train or ship, care should be taken to prevent motion sickness and to minimize the time of long-distance travel. Feed your child or hold a pacifier during take-off and landing to reduce ear discomfort. Take care to rest during the trip and don’t let your child get too excited. Generally speaking, although flying may not have much effect on the hemodynamics of patients with congenital heart disease, such patients should still ask their doctor to issue a certificate of travel before flying, and truthfully explain the patient’s disease condition to the airline company in order to do a good job of preventing sudden accidents during the flight. The majority of congenital heart disease patients need to be treated, except for a few congenital heart disease patients who have the possibility of self-healing, and can be treated by two methods: traditional surgery and interventional blockage, after which the patient is expected to return to normal. Patients with congenital heart disease have a low recurrence rate after surgical cure, and can return to normal, participate in daily life, study and work, and flying will not significantly increase the heart load, which is generally not a big problem and need not be overly worried. As a precaution, patients can go to the hospital for cardiac ultrasound and other examinations to understand the recovery of heart function after surgery, and doctors will give advice on whether to fly according to the specific physical state of the patient. In conclusion, patients with congenital heart disease may not be able to fly before they are untreated. Through timely and effective treatment, after a period of recovery, if the patient’s heart function has been minimally different from normal, they can generally fly, and it is best to go to the hospital for a review before travel, and the doctor will comprehensively assess the patient’s condition.
