• W2012368368 abstract "Last month I was called to assist a passenger on a flight from Boston to San Francisco, who was reported to be behaving strangely. I encountered an elderly man, washing his cell telephone with a napkin soaked in orange juice. He was alert and spoke fluently, but his speech was incoherent and he followed no commands. According to seatmates, his condition had deteriorated steadily since takeoff. Pulse rate, blood pressure, and respirations were normal. A brief neurological examination, performed while I knelt in the aisle, yielded normal results, except for altered mental status. Five sachets of sugar dissolved in juice produced no improvement. Because he was traveling alone and could not communicate, I had no information about him.I was unsure of the diagnosis but considered the possibility of acute stroke, causing a Wernicke aphasia. The copilot and I discussed whether to divert the flight to Minneapolis. The patient’s life did not appear in danger, so we decided to continue to San Francisco. The plane was met by paramedics, who transported the patient to a local hospital emergency department (ED).The next day I received a telephone call from the patient, who was completely back to normal after a night in the hospital. He explained, apologetically, that he had swallowed zolpidem 10 mg to help him sleep on the plane.Possible stroke and altered mental status account for 4.4% of in-flight emergencies.1Peterson D.C.
