Abstract

Dynamic medical monitoring of flight crew during the first year of service in the Far North allows you to organize and carry out activities for the primary prevention of adaptation violations in flight crew. It was established that in pilots with diagnosed diseases of the circulatory system, gastrointestinal tract and various parts of the spine, compared with pilots diagnosed «Healthy», there was a statistically significant (p<0,01) increase in the average primary morbidity rate by 11,1; 10,8 and 10,7%, respectively, which indicates the tension of adaptive mechanisms in the former in the initial period of adaptation to the conditions of the Far North. Most pilots after assessing such areas of quality of life as physical satisfaction (activity, mobility, the possibility of self-care, full military duties, lack of pain and independence from medications) and psychological satisfaction (emotional background, learning ability, memory, concentration of attention), received integral ratings of 4-5 points. The dynamics of the level of development of cognitive mental processes indicates that in pilots with diagnosed diseases, compared with healthy pilots, there is an increase in the average efficiency indicator of the methods «Analogies», «Numeric series», «Visual memory», «Creative thinking»; «Arithmetic score», «Verbal memory» and «Establishment of patterns», respectively, by 10,5; 10,4; 10,4; 10.5; 10,5; 10,2 and 10,2% (p<0,01). Thus, in pilots with diagnosed diseases of the circulatory system, gastrointestinal tract and various parts of the spine, as compared to healthy pilots, adaptive mechanisms are observed in the initial period of adaptation to the conditions of the Far North.
