This may have clinically devastating consequences for the patient but may also result in significant costs for emergency alteration of flight schedule. We report the use of a hypobaric chamber to simulate cabin pressure changes encountered on a commercial flight to assess the safety to fly of a child with severe cystic lung disease secondary to Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The test did not result in an air leak, and the child subsequently undertook air travel without mishap. This is the first reported use of a hypobaric chamber test in a child with severe cystic lung disease. This test has the potential to be used as a fitness to fly test in children at risk for air leak syndromes who are being considered for air travel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2016-2376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,8]],"date-time":"2017-06-08T09:10:13Z","timestamp":1496913013000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Case Report of a Hypobaric Chamber Fitness to Fly Test in a Child With Severe Cystic Lung Disease"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Loo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Respiratory Department, Starship Children\u2019s Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aviation Medicine Unit RNZAF, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"Vyas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Respiratory Department, Starship Children\u2019s Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Pillarisetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Respiratory Department, Starship Children\u2019s Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2021120915595112800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1136\/thorax.57.4.289","article-title":"Managing passengers with respiratory disease planning air travel: British Thoracic Society recommendations.","volume":"57","author":"British Thoracic Society Standards of Care Committee","year":"2002","journal-title":"Thorax"},{"issue":"6","key":"2021120915595112800_B2","first-page":"980","article-title":"Hypoxia-altitude simulation test.
