Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study of noise generated by military-type aircraft and equipment maintenance in relation to non-auditory effects that impact with the body of the crew and ground staff can cause cardiac pathologies

Hypothesis of work: The pilots and the technical personnel of maintenance that work before the exhibition of noise generated by planes hunt F-16, or equipments of maintenance of the same ones, present major risk of a cardiac affectation, which demonstrates in changes in the normal pace of the heart, in his function of bomb or in hemodynamic conditions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The work area military airport is characterized by low frequency noise in sound pressure levels exceeding 100 dB, smashing into the body of pilots and ground staff.

It found variations in the thickness of the pericardium and deviation measures ejection fraction

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

fighter pilots f-16

This group is made up of pilots from the F-16 Venezuelan military air force stationed in the Base Vicente Landaeta Gil de Barquisimeto, Lara State.

exposure to occupational noise

Intervention Type OTHER

We performed the measurement of occupational noise exposure through sound level meter and Dosimeter during flight operations of F-16 fighter plane.

cardiovascular valuation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Cardiovascular valuation was performed via electrocardiogram and echocardiographic techniques to correlate the changes observed during exposure to occupational noise

aircraft maintenance personnel f-16

Staff responsible for the preparation of aircraft for the flight and maintenance in the hangar at the airbase Vicente Landaeta Gil de Barquisimeto, Lara. Venezuela
