Physiological and Clinical Findings During Latent Hypxia in the Hypobaric Chamber

Abstract

Biomonitoring during physiological training is not only helpful for the trainees feedback by adding objective findings and numbers to subjective symptoms during acute and mild hypoxia but also helpful for the safety crew of the hypobaric chamber to realize health problems of the trainees early enough. Last but not least: pathological reactions and monitored findings in cardiac parameters are helpful to decide who should be examined further by a cardiologist. In addition if for pulmonary reasons grounded aircrew should be cleared again for flying duty (waiver policy) monitored altitude and hypoxia exposure can be used for decision making.
