Military Personnel Selection and Diagnostic Control of Human Functional State in High Altitude Conditions
Abstract
In the paper the initial attempts and modem approach to the evaluation of individual resistance to high altitude hypoxia in the human organism are reviewed. It is presented a big informative material about using Valsalva maneuver and its modified versions (Burger probe, Flack test, etc.) for a diagnostic estimation of cardiovascular function in the different areas of public medicine and applied human physiology. Specific role is attached use of dosed version of Flack test with 50 sec. duration of strain (DFT) for prognostic evaluation of functional opportunities of the human cardiovascular system, its adaptive potential and regulative functions in high altitude conditions. Clinical observations performed during acute period of adaptation of selected individuals to altitude of 3600 meters demonstrated an 80%-level of verification of the results of this prognosis. Method of military contingent selection and control procedures for healthy service at frontier posts in high mountains of Tien Shan and Pamir are described.
