Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the personnel involved in Aviation do their job on the ground. Only a few of them has to perform their tasks in the air or in space. Therefore one could even consider Aviation Medicine as a specialized branch of Occupational Medicine. Because Occupational health Care of all personnel involved in Aviation will also be the responsibility of the medical service, it was considered useful to discuss Occupational Medicine at this meeting. As an occupational physician working in industry I am honoured by your invitation to start this meeting with a general review of Occupational Medicine. In the chapters following I shall try to present those items of Occupational Medicine which can be of interest for all personnel involved with Aviation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has been written about the occupational hazards confronting the cockpit crew, very little has been written on the occupational hazards faced by aviation maintenance and ground support personnel. This book fills this void by describing those hazards, their remediation, and their prevention. This important resource describes the different exposures and hazards in the aviation industry, including those of a chemical, physical, physiochemical, biological, or psychosocial nature. Biomedical engineers, physicians, nurses, flight surgeons, and aviation medical examiners will find this book to be a useful reference.

Download or read book Aviation Medicine and the Airline Passenger written by Andrew R. C. Cummin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-05-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only book of its kind, this comprehensive reference provides information on the implications of disease to the well being of airline passengers, and how such diseases may affect their fitness to fly. This is completely unlike other aviation medicine texts that concentrate on health conditions as they effect pilot and other crewmembers. Hospital Consultants, General Practitioners and Physicians in Occupational Medicine will frequently be asked questions by patients regarding their fitness to fly, and this book will be an invaluable source of information during consultations. The content includes practical advice on pre-flight assessment and the in-flight management of individual medical disorders, including possible exacerbations of chronic conditions during flight as well as acute emergencies. Background information on the physiology of aviation and the cabin environment is provided at a level appropriate for the non-specialist, and the book includes an important chapter on the medico-legal implications for physicians who are asked to participate in the care of other passengers taken ill during a flight. While airlines have their own guidelines regarding the management of in-flight medical emergencies, this book will also be of considerable interest to those involved in training cabin crew members to deal with these situations.

Download or read book Culture at Work in Aviation and Medicine written by Robert L. Helmreich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1998, culture forms a complex framework of national, organizational, and professional attitudes and values within which groups and individuals function. The reality and strength of culture become salient when we work within a new group and interact with people who have well established norms and values. In this book the authors report the results of their ongoing exploration of the influences of culture in two professions, aviation and medicine. Their focus is on commercial airline pilots and operating room teams. Within these two environments they show the effect of professional, national and organizational cultures of individual attitudes and values and team interaction.
