How long after pneumonia can I travel?


How long after pneumonia can I travel? Generally, flying after a pneumonia infection is possible only if the patient has recovered completely with no residual infection. In certain cases, airline companies request satisfactory exercise tolerance before flying.


Is a oxygen level of 92 good to fly?

Resting Pulse Oximetry
Values >95% on room air suggest that inflight hypoxemia is unlikely and that further evaluation is likely not necessary. Patients with saturations <92% on room air at rest should receive supplemental oxygen inflight, because they are at high risk of hypoxemia at altitude.
