The Clinical Basis for Aeromedical Decision MAking (Les Bases Cliniques Pour la Prise de Decision dans Le Domaine Aeromedical)
Abstract
This symposium addressed a topic of ever-increasing importance--the rationale behind aeromedical decisions. Lack of available data required past decision-makers to be conservative when deciding who should fly and who should not. Papers in this symposium updated available data and provided a focal point for discussion and re-evaluation of aeromedical selection and retention standards. Three discussion periods allowed for open exchange on topics of particular concern to member nations i.e. cardiovascular and neurological problems and HIV. The purpose of this symposium was to exchange data, experience and management rationales dealing with the very difficult task of aeromedical decision-making. Sharing this information would enable nations to update management protocols based upon experience and data made more powerful by its collective nature. Such exchange would also eliminate costly redundant research and help focus future research and collaborative efforts with the purpose of more effectively using AGARD member nation resources and solving the more difficult or more frequently encountered problems.
