Comparison of physiological response to hypobaric hypoxia at altitude of 33000 and 25000 feet

Original language description

The hypoxia tolerance of Czech Air Force (CAF) pilots is tested routinely in a hypobaric chamber at 25000 ft. Military pilots can be exposed to more intensive hypoxia during emergency situations. Since the CAF aircraft can operate at 33000 ft we are interested in changes in physiological responses and effective wordload timing at 33000 ft in comparison with the standard hypoxic demonstration of 25000 ft. Adaptive possibilities of humans at 33000 ft are very limited. Human efficiency drops very quickly because deterioration exceeds the time of useful consciousnes (TUC). Slower desaturation of oxyhaemoglobin (longer time to reach 80 %sO2) represents better hypoxic tolerance. The time to reach defined values of %sO2 is three times shorter at 33000 ft thanat 25000 ft.
