Passenger: Pregnancy Complications
MedLink Jukebox
In a recent MedLink interaction, a crew member from an aircraft in Germany sought advice concerning a pregnant passenger onboard. Due to a pressurization issue, the cabin needed to be raised to 9,500 feet, raising concerns about the passenger, who was six months into her pregnancy.
The MedLink physician provided guidance, advising that maintaining this cabin altitude for roughly an hour should be safe. However, to ensure the passenger's comfort and allay any concerns, the doctor recommended administering low-flow oxygen.
This scenario underscores MedAire's dedication to providing expert medical support, ensuring both safety and peace of mind for all passengers, even in unusual circumstances.
