Pressurized airplanes

What does "Pressurized airplanes" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

Pressurized airplanes are aircraft that have a sealed environment which can control the air pressure inside the cabin. This is important because as the plane ascends, the air outside becomes thinner and the pressure drops. The pressurization system in the airplane ensures that the air pressure inside the cabin remains at a comfortable level for passengers, similar to the conditions at ground level or at a moderate altitude. This helps to prevent health issues related to low oxygen levels, such as altitude sickness.
