DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY
GRADED A
What is Gas Dysbarism? - ANSWER-Syndrome resulting from the effects, excluding hypoxia, of a
pressure differential between the ambient barometric pressure and the pressure of gases within the
body
Two Types: Trapped Gas and Evolved Gas
What is Boyle's Law (Boyle's balloon)? - ANSWER-The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its
pressure when the temperature of the gas is held constant.
What is the difference between trapped gas and evolved gas? - ANSWER-Trapped gas can be painful.
Evolved gas can be fatal.
What is the treatment for Ear/Sinus Blocks? - ANSWER-On the ascent (rare)
Land and refer individual to flight surgeon
On the descent (most common)
Stop the descent of the aircraft and attempt to clear by valsalva
If unable to clear, climb back to altitude until clear by pressure or valsalva Descend
slowly and clear ear frequently during descent
Describe Barodontalgia. - ANSWER-Tooth pain due togas expansion
Usually isolated to one tooth and always on the ascent
New decay under a filling
Trapped air under crown
Gum abscess: dull pain
Inflamed pulp: sharp pain
Land and refer to dental
,What causes Evolved Gas Dysbarism (a.k.a. Decompression Sickness)? - ANSWER-As pressure
decreases, gases dissolved in body fluids are released as bubbles like taking the top off a soda bottle
What is Henry's Law (Henry's Heineken)? - ANSWER-The amount of gas dissolved in a solution is
directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the solution.
What are the types of Evolved Gas Disorders? - ANSWER-Decompression Sickness (DCS)
-Type I
Bends
Skin manifestations
-Type II
Chokes
Central Nervous System disorders
What is the best way to prevent Decompression Sickness? - ANSWER-Prebreath 100% 02 for 30
minutes prior to flight will decrease amount of N2 in the blood by 30%
What is stress? - ANSWER-The nonspecific response of the body to any demand placed upon it
Identify the types of stressors. - ANSWER--Psychosocial
-Cognitive(Mental)
-Physiological
-Environmental
What are the Behavioral Signs of Stress? - ANSWER-Late to work
Poor performance
Explosiveness
, Alcohol and/or other drug abuse
Social isolation
Suicide
What are the Emotional Signs of Stress? - ANSWER-Irritability
Hostility
Anger
Anxiety
Sadness
Loss of self-esteem
Feelings of helplessness
Obsessions or excessive worrying
Suppressed emotions
(Feeling numb, like you don't feel anything)
What are the Cognitive Signs of Stress? - ANSWER-Decreased attention
Impaired memory
Poor judgment
Identify the impact of stress on crew member performance - ANSWER-Stress has a negative impact
on Necessary Pilot Abilities Like:
Psychomotor (stick& rudder)
Attention
Memory
Judgment and decision making
Prioritization of tasks
Emotion Regulation
Cockpit communication
