Q

Aeromedical Altitude Respiratory

A

Hypoxia: Oxygen deficiency sufficient to impair brain&body functions.
—due to reduced barometric pressure.
—can happen @5000’, usually 12000-15000’
—15min@15000 (tunnel), 20-30@18000 (unconscious),5-12@20000
Hypoxic: Insufficient oxygen available to the lungs
Hypemic: Blood cannot transport oxy to cells (anemia/carbon dioxide poisoning)
Stagnant: oxygen deficiency due to inadequate blood circulation.
Histotoxic: inability of cells to effectively use oxygen due to drugs/alc

17
Q

Aeromedical Altitude Reqs

A

TO PREVENT HYPOXIA: use supplemental oxy @10000’day/5000’night. Flight crew req to use supplemental oxy after 30min@12500’-14000’ and immediately @14000’. Every occupant must be provided @15000’.
Decompression Sickness: not enough time for body to rid excess nitrogen from SCUBA. Nitrogen bubbles form in bloodstream/joints and cause intense pain. If flying above 8000’—must wait 24hrs, below 8000–wait 12hrs(uncontrolled), 24hrs(controlled)

18
Q

Aeromedical Altitude Risks

A

Ear Block: ear drum can explode/pain/hearing loss due to Eustachian tube closed & middle ear cannot equalize. As cabin pressure inc during descent need to yawn/valsalva to equalize ears.
Sinus Block: Pain due to plugging of frontal/maxillary sinuses.
Carbon monoxide poisoning: Prevents hemoglobin from carrying oxy to cells (hypemic hypoxia). CO is odorless & colorless.
