P79 Children with complex congenital heart disease: who needs a pre-flight hypoxic challenge test?

IntroductionCommercial airplanes fly with an equivalent cabin FiO2 of 0.15 leading to reduced oxygen saturation (SpO2) in passengers. Although guidelines exist, the evidence-base for recommending supplemental O2 when flying in children with complex congenital heart disease (CHD) is practically non-e...

Zusammenfassung:IntroductionCommercial airplanes fly with an equivalent cabin FiO2 of 0.15 leading to reduced oxygen saturation (SpO2) in passengers. Although guidelines exist, the evidence-base for recommending supplemental O2 when flying in children with complex congenital heart disease (CHD) is practically non-existent. We conducted hypoxic challenge tests (HCT) to determine which children need a pre-flight assessment.MethodsChildren
