The information collected on the
Physiology Training Record is required by students attending
aviation physiology training that wish to participate in hypobaric
or normobaric hypoxia training. It is reviewed by the training
instructor and a member of the Airman Education Program team to
ensure those desiring to participate in this training have the
necessary aviation medical qualification. Additionally, the “yes”
or “no” questions are reviewed to ensure there are no known health
issues that would prevent their participation in entering a
low-oxygen environment to experience their symptoms of hypoxia. To
that end a person that is: 1. “Taking any medications that were not
approved at the time of your last FAA medical exam” could mask a
health issue or present an unexpected result during hypobaric or
normobaric training operations. 2. Having “a cold or nasal
congestion” could cause problems with equalizing pressure in the
ears or sinuses during hypobaric training operations. 3. Having “an
ear infection now or…in the past 30 days” could affect the ability
to equalize pressure in the ears during hypobaric training
operations. 4. Having a “history of significant ear pressure blocks
during flying” could be an indicator of an inability to equalize
pressure in the ears during hypobaric training operations. 5.
Having had a “ruptured eardrum since your last FAA medical exam”
could indicate a health risk during hypobaric training operations.
6. Having “any symptoms of upset stomach, gas, or diarrhea” could
indicate a health risk of gas expansion during hypobaric training
operations. 7. Having had “any operations or been hospitalized
within the last 90 days” could indicate a health risk that could be
exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 8.
Having “been unconscious because of illness or injury within the
past 12 months” could indicate a health risk that could be
exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 9.
Having “had convulsions or been evaluated for possible epilepsy”
could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during
hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 10. Having “had any
disease or surgery of the heart or vascular system” could indicate
a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or
normobaric training operations. 11. Having “had any disease or
surgery of the lungs or chest” could indicate a health risk that
could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training
operations. 12. Having “participated in scuba diving during the
last 24 hours” could increase the risk of decompression sickness
during hypobaric training operations. 13. Having “donated blood in
the past 72 hours” could result in an accelerated onset of hypoxia
and decreased recovery from hypoxia during hypobaric or normobaric
training operations. 14. Having a “low hematocrit or
hemoglobinopathy (such as sickle cell anemia)” could result in an
accelerated onset of hypoxia and decreased recovery from hypoxia
during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 15. Having had
“altitude sickness or prior problems with hypoxic exposure
including chamber flight” could indicate a health risk that could
be exacerbated during hypobaric training operations. 16. The
“possibility that you are pregnant” could result in an accelerated
onset of hypoxia and decreased recovery from hypoxia as well as
danger to the unborn baby during hypobaric or normobaric training
operations. Any questions resulting in a “yes” answer require a
brief explanation to determine if a significant risk exists and if
the person should be allowed to participate in dynamic hypoxia
training. Although the information is collected, it may not be
expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be
used in scientific, management, technical or general information
publications.
