How Safe Is Flight Travel For Patients With Skull Fracture?
my daughter has a skull fracture with no bone displacment, 2 cat scans perf at the hospital no internal bleeding and shes acting normal, we are supposed to travel by plane tomorrow and i was wondering if it will be ok for her to fly and the flight is two and half hours long
Wed, 7 May 2014
hello
i would suggest that you take an opinion from the doctor whose seeing the case
As per me i would not suggest her to be travelling by plane as fractured skull bone may not protect the cereberal contents with low pressures that are to be seen in plane
