Effects of medium- and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 on flight personnel
Journal Title: Journal of Air Force Medical University - Year 2023, Vol 44, Issue 7
Abstract
Due to the increasing number of people recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19), some patients may experience a variety of prolonged symptoms after recovery from acute disease, which is called “long COVID-19”, “post-COVID-19 condition ( PCC)” or “ post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (PASC)”. Some foreign studies have shown that 80% of infected individuals have at least one sequela and may involve multiple systems throughout the body. These sequelae need to be given more attention in the unique aerospace environment. The effects of COVID-19 sequelae on flight personnel mainly include damage to the functions of various organs such as respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system and hematological system, as well as potential adverse factors on flight safety. COVID-19 has not only triggered changes in the entire aviation industry, but also has an impact on the formulation of aviation medical standards. There are few literature reports on the study of COVID-19, PCC and PASC in flight personnel at home and abroad, so this paper is written to collate and analyze the impact of the medium- and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 on flight personnel from scattered literature, aiming to provide theoretical support for the formulation of aviation medical standards for infectious diseases of flight personnel in China.
