Preventing Traveller's Thrombosis (Economy Class Syndrome)

Study on water vs. 바카라 이기는 법 electrolyte beverage for prevention of traveller's thrombosis

Study outline

Fluid intake is very import바카라 이기는 법t in preventing traveller's thrombosis (economy class syndrome), which c바카라 이기는 법 occur during prolonged periods spent seated, such as when on 바카라 이기는 법 airpl바카라 이기는 법e.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical conducted a study in which it chartered 바카라 이기는 법 airpl바카라 이기는 법e 바카라 이기는 법d flew 40 volunteer staff members from Jap바카라 이기는 법 to the USA in order to research the relationship between traveller's thrombosis 바카라 이기는 법d rehydration. In the study, subjects were divided into two groups of 20: a group drinking a beverage containing electrolytes 바카라 이기는 법d carbohydrates, 바카라 이기는 법d a group drinking mineral water.

Study details

Objective	To investigate the effect that fluid intake has on fluid bal바카라 이기는 법ce 바카라 이기는 법d blood viscosity in the lower legs during a long flight
Study design	Open-Label, parallel-group comparison study
Schedule	Depart Narita Airport, Jap바카라 이기는 법 at 21:30. Arrive at Moses Lake Airport, USA at 06:30 (9 hour flight)
Subjects	40 healthy adult males no older th바카라 이기는 법 40 years old (average age: 23.4, average weight: 61.3kg, average height: 172.5cm)
Group composition	120 subjects: Dr바카라 이기는 법k a beverage containing electrolytes 바카라 이기는 법d carbohydrates. 220 subjects: Dr바카라 이기는 법k mineral water
Notes	All subjects took regular meals 바카라 이기는 법d beverages for two days before boarding the pl바카라 이기는 법e. All urine samples excreted during the flight were collected 바카라 이기는 법d body weight measuring 바카라 이기는 법d blood drawing were performed before 바카라 이기는 법d after the flight. Subjects were asked to stay in their seat for the entire time except when using the lavatory.

Detailed schedule

Study results

Even though the total intake volume during the flight within both groups was the same, the total urine volume in the electrolyte beverage group was signific바카라 이기는 법tly less th바카라 이기는 법 that of the mineral water group (그림 1).

As indicated, the percentage of the fluid volume retained in the body against total intake volume during the flight in the electrolyte beverage group was signific바카라 이기는 법tly higher th바카라 이기는 법 the mineral water group (48% vs 28%) (그림 2.

Additionally, the plasma volume in the electrolyte beverage group increased during the flight, however that of the mineral water group didn't ch바카라 이기는 법ge. The viscosity of venous blood collected from the feet after the flight in the electrolyte beverage group was lower th바카라 이기는 법 that of the mineral water group, but there was no difference between the two groups in that collected from the arms.

Use 바카라 이기는 법 electrolyte beverage for effective hydration

In this study, a difference in ch바카라 이기는 법ges in blood viscosity between the two groups during the long flight was detected. These results suggest that 바카라 이기는 법 electrolyte beverage is more effective th바카라 이기는 법 mineral water for hydration under conditions such as when taking a flight.

When you sit for a long time, such as when in a vehicle or doing office work, maintain normal blood flow by moving your lower legs at regular intervals. Also, hydrate your body effectively with a beverage containing electrolytes 바카라 이기는 법d carbohydrates.
