M. Kirov Military Medical Academy of the Russian Defense Ministry15032020391667120042020Copyright © 2020, Popov A.N.2020At the present stage of development of the Navy does not lose relevance, requires constant monitoring and improvement of the organization of psychophysiological support for submariners. Objective: is to analyze the modern organization of monitoring the functional state of submariners in long voyages, to develop recommendations for its improvement on the basis of functional surveys of submarine crews. Materials and methods. A comprehensive psychophysiological and clinical physiological examination of 58 submariners over a long voyage (from 30 to 54 days) in diesel submarines was carried out. The survey was carried out three times: at the initial stage of swimming, approximately in its middle and 1-2 days before arrival at the base. Results of the study. The history of the development of methods for monitoring the functional state of submariners in long voyages, the current guidelines, the shortcomings and difficulties in the state of this problem at the present stage of development of the domestic submarine fleet are analyzed. Conducted comprehensive surveys of diesel submarine operators during sea trips revealed the presence of significant features in the dynamics of the functional state and operability of this category of naval specialists requiring mandatory monitoring. As a result of research, proposals were made that contribute to solving this problem. Conclusion: it is advisable to consider issues of monitoring the functional state of submariners in a unified medical support system, including not only activities carried out during the voyage, but also in the pre-navigation period, as well as after returning to the base. This requires the development of guidelines for doctors of the Navy taking into account modern requirements for the medical support of ships.
