Prevention of the syndrome of barometeorosensitivity in the Arctic Circle

Abstract

Causes and mechanisms of barometeorosensitivity progression in servicemen, serving in the Arctic Circle, are described in this article. The authors proved conclusively the necessity of active detection of barometeorosensitive servicemen and case follow-up. The authors came to conclusion that it is necessary to include neurocirculatory asthenia into the list of medical contraindications to active service for servicemen, doing military service under contract in the Arctic Circle. Value of detected disadaptive risk factors was assessed. Prophylaxis and barometeorosensitivity control measures were suggested.
