`
`There are new guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians for
`preventing these kind of travel-related blood clots, reports The Early Show
`medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay.
`They strongly advise all patients traveling on flights of more than six hours to take
`some simple but necessary precautions.
`
`A blood clot known as deep vein thrombosis can develop in the veins of the leg as a
`result of sitting still in a cramped position for hours on end.
`
`In many cases these clots dissolve on their own, but they can be very dangerous if
`they break away and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, where they can
`get stuck and cause a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism.

`What does the guy on the mound have in
`common with the person in front of the
`trading screen? A lot, actually.
`
`There is still a lot of controversy about how this kind of health problem might be
`caused or exacerbated by air travel, but certainly there seems to be enough
`evidence to cause concern for some travelers.

`
`Whether or not there's an individual risk for deep vein thrombosis, passengers
`should avoid constrictive clothing around the lower extremities and waist, avoid
`dehydration, and engage in frequent calf muscle stretching.
`
`Patients considered at greater risk for clots should also consider using a
`compression stocking and may also need to take a blood-thinning medication
`before the trip.
`
`Aspirin is not recommended for the prevention of travel-related blood clots. Your
`doctor is the best person to advise you of your personal risk and prescribe
`medication to prevent clot formation if necessary.
`
`The good news is that the risk of these clots occurring on or just after a flight is
`very small, about one in a million. But the risk increases on longer flights and for
`people who already have risk factors for blood clots. Although most experts agree
`that sitting still for hours and the cramped seating that's the main cause of the
`syndrome, some theorize that it may also have something to do with the cabin
`pressure or the dry atmosphere inside a plane.

`
`Studies show that certain groups are at higher risk for blood clots. Age, obesity,
`recent surgery, family history of blood clots, medical conditions or disease that
`make a person prone to clotting can put a person at higher risk. And women who
`are pregnant or use contraceptive pills or hormone replacement therapy are also at
`higher risk.
`
`If any of these conditions are combined with the risk factor of sitting in an
`immobile, cramped position for a long time, it can put a person at an even higher
`risk.
