Abstract		During the flight, passengers may experience various health problems. Ear barotrauma is a common event due to cabin pressure changes, which can be prevented by using simple measures (the Valsalva manoeuvre). Due to prolonged sitting, dehydration and lack of movement during the flight, passengers with risk factors have an increased risk of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. Movement and hydration can prevent this; high-risk patients should use support stockings and/or anticoagolation prophylaxis. When travelling across different time zones, the symptoms of jet lag occur due to a dissociation between the external time and intrinsic circadian rhythms. Jet lag can be prevented and treated with adequate sleep and exposure to sunlight. Motion sickness is a consequence of sensory information incongruity. It can be prevent and treated by pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures.
Summary		Med poletom lahko pri potnikih pride do različnih zdravstvenih težav. Zaradi sprememb tlaka v kabini je pogosta barotravma ušesa, ki jo lahko preprečimo s preprostimi ukrepi (Valsalvin manever). Zaradi dolgotrajnega sedenja, dehidracije in pomanjkanja gibanja med poletom obstaja pri potnikih z dejavniki tveganja nevarnost nastanka globoke venske tromboze in pljučne trombebolije, ki ju preprečujemo z gibanjem in zadostno hidracijo ter pri ogroženih potnikih z elastičnimi nogavicami in antikoagulacijsko zaćčito. Pri prečkanju več časovnih pasov se zaradi disociacije med zunanjim časom in notranjo biološko uro pojavijo simptomi jet laga. Preprečujemo in zdravimo jih z zadostniim spanjem in izpostavljenostjo dnevni svetlobi. Kinetoze nastanejo zaradi konflikta med senzoričnimi informacijami. Preprečujemo in zdravimo jih s farmakološkimi in nefarmakološkimi ukrepi.
