High G training and superficial phlebitis: a case report.
This is a report of bilateral phlebitis in an otherwise healthy 37-year-old male, occurring approximately 96 h post G-tolerance training. Of interest is an episode of significant physical activity occurring between the G-tolerance training and the onset of symptoms of phlebitis. Health care professionals seeing patients post G training need to be aware of unusual possible sequelae, especially vascular in origin. Further information is needed before a causal relationship between G-tolerance training and superficial phlebitis can be demonstrated.
