Medical journals say that during flight, blood coagulability rises steadily and blood flow slows down, especially in the lower legs. Blood clots form, usually painlessly, but some cause pain and swelling. If a clot travels to the lung it can cause pain, fainting and death. A clot in the leg is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A clot in the lung is pulmonary embolism (PE). Clots also form in the arterial system and in the heart, leading to heart failure and stroke. Most victims are stricken a few days after the flight. </p><p> Airlines should advise passengers of these dangers, but this does not prejudice the passenger's right to make a claim against the airline in the event of health problems arising from time spent on the aeroplane.</p><p> It is recommended that passengers leave their seats and walk around the aeroplane at least once per hour, flex their legs regularly when remaining in their seats, and that they dress in comfortable clothes and shoes.</p><p>If you believe that you or someone you know has suffered from these symptoms as a result of a flight or long bus journey, please call us without obligation for an assessment of your case.</p> </font></p> <P> <a href="javascript:history.back();">Back</a> </P></p></td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id='bottombar'> <script src='scripts\email.js' type='text/javascript'></script> &nbsp;&nbsp;Tel: +34915912751<br>&copy;asdetour 2003, Francisco de Rojas, 2, Madrid, España </div> </div> <div id='leftnav'> <div class='navitem'><a href='registrarse.php?language=eng' Title='Register'>Register</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='https://secure4.positive-internet.com/~asdetour/english/subscribe.php?language=eng' Title='Subscribe'>Subscribe</a></div> <div class='navitem2'><a href='rights-traveller.html' Title='Your rights'>Your rights</a></div> <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'><tr> <td><div class='navlist'><a href='transport.html' Title='Transport'>Transport</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='accomodation.html' Title='Accomodation'>Accomodation</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='restaurants.html' Title='Restaurants'>Restaurants</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='travel-agencies.html' Title='Travel Agencies'>Travel Agencies</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='sport-leisure.html' Title='Leisure and Sport'>Leisure and Sport</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='passports-consulates.html' Title='Passports y consulates'>Passports y consulates</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='destinations.html' Title='Other destinations'>Other destinations</a></div></td></tr><tr><td> <div class='navlist'><a href='rights-recomendations.html' Title='Rights and Recomendations'>Rights and Recomendations</a></div></td></tr></table> <br> <div class='navitem3'><a href='#' Title='Soon'>Property</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='consult.php?language=eng' Title='Consult on-line'>Consult on-line</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='travel.html' Title='Travel'>Travel</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='el-tiempo.html' Title='The weather'>The weather</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='#' Title='Soon'>Profesionals</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='links.html' Title='Travel Links'>Links</a></div> <div class='navitem'><a href='site-map.html' Title='Site Map'>Site Map</a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
