FITNESS TO FLY - CSA CHEAT SHEET!

Helloooo Friend!

Hema Here!

Give me a biggg Hi5!

FITNESS TO FLY?

It is easy to guess/ commonsense in most cases.

There are few scenarios can come up in CSA.

Like a patient with SOB and suspected Anaemia/ stable angina/ recent MI, pregnancy, with cast etc.


Patients who CANNOT fly are:

1. Unstable Angina, (Watch for it - can apply if patient to be seen at CP clinic)
2. Decompensated CCF,               
3. Uncontrolled Hypertension,
4. Uncontrolled Cardiac Arrhythmias,
5. Severe Valvular Heart Disease,
6. If Haemoglobin < 7.5.

Myocardial Infarction

If Complicated               -   4 - 6 weeks.

If Uncomplicated MI    -   1 week.

Angioplasty         -   5 days.

CABG                   -  10 days.


CVA                      -  3 days.

Viscus surgery    -  10 days.

Chest surgery      -   3 - 4 weeks


Pregnancy  if  > 28 weeks,  need certification.

Single             -  not more than  36 weeks.

Multiple         -  not more than  32 weeks.


Ortho Cast

If  < 2 hrs flight        -  can fly after 24 hrs.

For longer duration   -  can fly after 48 hrs.

Others

Oxygen requirements for COPD, Pneumothorax, etc, etc.

In CSA, when not clear, it is better to say that we would look into and let them know later.

This Guidance will certainly vary,

Sooooooo

Are you really ready for the 'CHANGE'?


Let me ask you something...


Have you heard the expression ?

''If you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got?

If You have been Waiting for a Change,

But Not Doing Anything Different or Applying New Habits,

Then Might be....

Why You are Getting What You have Always Got.

''We must all suffer from one of Two Pains:

The Pain of Discipline or the Pain of Regret.

The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons''

- Jim Rohn.
