Abstract: (14183 Views) |
| Problems of women in flight maybe divided into two groups:
Gynecological and Obstetric.
Most of these problems are related to the pregnant woman and her
fetus.
The process of delivery in majority of cases takes place normally
and without need to medical intervention, but in certain cases, a
physician or midwife can prevent unwanted events for mother and
baby.
Gynecological emergent cases are far less common than obstetrics
ones.
In critical situations where the mother and baby are at risk of death,
diversion or immediately landing may become necessary.
In general, Gynecological and Obstetric emergencies rarely happen
during flight but physicians, nurses or any other medical specialist
must answer in these cases. |
