HIGH ALTITUDE CHAMBER TRAINING FOR MILITARY FLIGHT PERSONNEL - ALTITUDE DCS RISK ASSESSMENT BY MEANS OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC DETECTION OF GAS BUBBLES
Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering and Psychology - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The objective of the study consisted in the assessment of the risk of decompression sickness (DCS). Methods: The study was conducted in 45 healthy males aged 24-45 years. A total of 64 exposures to low pressure were performed in high altitude chambers. Results: No clinical symptoms of DCS were observed in either patient following high altitude exposure. Discussion: A 30-minute inhalation of 100% oxygen appears to provide sufficient prevention against clinical symptoms of DCS in high altitude training with the ceiling of 7500 m.a.s.l. Conclusion: Extension of saturation periods should be considered for exposures at the ceiling of 10000 m.a.s.l.
