Abstract
Objective To review the mechanism and countermeasures of in-flight hyperventilation,and to afford reference for its prevention,monitoring,and the training for flight safety.Literature resource and selection Research papers,reviews and monographs in the field.Literature quotation Forty-four papers,6 monographs and 3 scientific and technical reports published at home and abroad were cited.Literature synthesis The incidence,mechanism and countermeasures of in-flight hyperventilation were reviewed.Future researches of in flight hyperventilation were also foreseen.Conclusions The incidence of in-flight hyperventilation is high and it is often overlooked because of the difficulties in distinguishing it from hypoxia if only referred the clinical symptoms.Raising awareness and further studies of in flight hyperventilation have great significance for improving flight efficiency and ensuring flight safety.
Key words:
Hyperventilation; Flight safety; In-flight incapacitation; Hypoxia
期刊介绍:
The aim of Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine is to combine theory and practice, improve and popularize, actively advocate a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, advocate seeking truth from facts, promote the development of the related disciplines of aerospace medicine and human efficiency, and promote the exchange and penetration of aerospace medicine and human efficiency with other biomedical and engineering specialties.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine include:
-The content of the journal belongs to the discipline of special medicine and military medicine, with the characteristics of multidisciplinary synthesis and cross-penetration, and mainly reflected in the aerospace industry, aerospace flight safety and efficiency, as well as the synthesis of special medicine, preventive medicine, environmental medicine, psychology, etc.
-Military aeromedicine (Air Force, Navy and Army aeromedicine) and civil aeromedicine, with a balance of aerospace medicine are the strengths of the journal.
-The change in aerospace medicine from a focus on promoting physiological compensatory adaptations to enhancing human performance under extreme environmental conditions is what the journal is helping to promote.
-The expansion of manuscripts in high altitude medicine is also a special emphasis of the journal.
