Flight Physiology

This Flight Physiology course is designed to equip air and medical crews with a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges encountered in the flight environment. Participants will delve into the effects of atmospheric pressure, altitude, and flight stresses on the human body, gaining critical insights into the physiological responses that can impact both crew and patients. The course also covers essential topics such as motion sickness, noise, vibration, spatial disorientation, and visual illusions, providing practical strategies for managing these factors in flight. By the end of the course, attendees will be well-prepared to assess and address the physiological needs of themselves and their patients, ensuring safe and effective operation in the demanding air-medical field.
