Development of a methodology of for medical-flight examination of flight personnel under condition of hospital

When performing an experimental study of ways of improvement of hyperbaric ascent involving 95 servicemen of special contingent determined lack of ascent security of flight crews to altitudes up to 6500 meters due to the large percentage (10%) of revealed reduced hypoxia tolerance of mild and moderate level in military personnel and potentially high risk of high-altitude decompression disease without a preparatory desaturation. The experimental testing of 5 minutes ascent technique for 5000 m and 6000 m is performed, justified criteria of hypobaric hypoxia tolerance of mild and moderate level during the examination of health state of 589 aircrew personnel (including personnel with approved diagnoses) in hyperbaric chamber in relation to hospital conditions. It is experimentally shown that the method of the survey in the chamber on hypoxia tolerance of mild and moderate level in the ascent to the height of 5000 m and 6000 m is an effective mean of determining the functional state and reserve capacity of the organism to identify hidden forms of human diseases and can be used for medical-flight examination of flight personnel in a hospital.
