Aeromedical exam Questions and answers
Baroitis Media - ✅✅Blocked ears
Barosinusitis - ✅✅More prevalent on descent,
blocked sinus'
trapped gas in frontal skull and jaw regions due to inflammation
LEANS - ✅✅Where the pilot will tilt wings to fly at which they percieve to be the vertical axis
Coriolis Illusion - ✅✅Combination of visual, ear and propriceptive distubrance resulting in vertigo and
complete loss of motion
Barodontalgia - ✅✅Acute tooth-ache caused by air being trapped in a tooth or under a restoration
when the patient is at a high altitude of 8,000 feet or more
During ascent, severe jaw/tooth pain
Barobariotrauma - ✅✅The release of nitrogren into the blood stream from excess adipose tissue due
to cel rupturing at pressure changes.
Fat emboli: severe dyspnea, petchiae neck auxilla and shoulder, chets pain, pallor, tachycardia
Preventing Barbariotrauma - ✅✅place patients on 100% O2 for 15 mins prior to flight.
Dysbarism - ✅✅Decompression sickness
a medical condition that results from pressure changes that occur when a person descends in water or
ascends in altitude
Rapid descent allows for nitrogen bubbles to form in microcirculation leading to tissue ischemia-
damage
Preventing Dysbarism - ✅✅remain below 8000 ft for minimum 12 hours.
, FOD - ✅✅Foreign body digestion, suseptible within 200ft, when objects end up into the engine.
DISC - ✅✅When Rotors are in motion
Pushback - ✅✅Fixed wing: when you physclaly need to be pushed back from the terminal, during
'taxi' or 'pushback' all chatter should be reduced
Authority/ chain of command - ✅✅VP operations
Director of flight op
Chief pilot
Senior EMS check pilot ( if commercial or freight)
Duty captain - captain flying that day
First officer
Medical cabin attendant
EXIS - ✅✅emergency exit identification system
Bernoulli's Law - ✅✅Low pressure developed overtop of the wing. As air flowing over the airfoil
because it is more of a curve which causes higher pressure under the airfoil which causes "lift"
Cassandra effects - ✅✅Air flowing over the wing is forced down, which causes the wing to lift up.
Helicopter types - ✅✅S76 Sikorsey76
Augusta westland 139 (AW139)
Airplane types - ✅✅Pilatus PC-12
Beechcraft B200 king air
