Hype
(oxia & erventilation)
(oxia & erventilation)
What are the 4 types of Hypoxia?
Hypoxic, Hypemic, Stagnant, Histotoxic
Percentage of Oxygen in the Atmosphere
21 %
The most common type of Decompression Sickness (DCS), 60-70% of cases, in aviators, most often occurs in the shoulders, wrist, and elbows.
The Bends
The gas law that affects aviators due to the barometric pressure changes when climbing or descending leading to Trapped Gases.
Boyle's Law
True or False: There are more deaths in aviation from inhaling toxic fumes than from the fires that cause them.
True
Observable, measurable indicators that other individuals can detect.
Objective Symptoms
Component (molecule) of the atmosphere protects us.
Ozone
Recommended wait period for flights above 8000 feet after scuba diving.
24 hours
Pilots should use which type of oxygen when flying an aircraft at high altitudes?
Aviators Breathing Oxygen (Green Bottle)
Quick donning oxygen masks on all commercial aircraft are required to be donned within how many seconds of recognizing the need for oxygen?
5 Seconds
Hyperventilation can lead to which type of hypoxia?
Stagnant
Almost all weather takes place in which division of the atmosphere?
Troposphere
The Gas Law that states: “The amount of gas dissolved in a solution is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas over the solution”
Henry's Law
The Gas Law affects aviators due to the changes in temperature, such as inside an oxygen bottle.
Charle's Law
What are the two origins of toxins in aircraft.
People, Chemicals, Altitude, External Air Quality
The most common cause of Hyperventilation?
Emotional
The weight of the air molecules above the point where the measurement is taken.
Pressure
What are the 4 types of DCS?
Bends, Skin (Cutaneous) Symptoms, Central Nervous System, Chokes
The Gas Law explains the how the phenomena of hypoxia occurs as we ascend.
Dalton's Law
The FAA requires that a commercial aircraft be evacuated within how many minutes?
1.5 minutes
The 4 steps in the oxygenation process.
Ventilation, Respiration, Transportation, Utilization
The Zone of Normal Adaptation extends from sea level to which altitude?
10,000 ft
A process where small gas bubbles are formed when two solid surfaces make and break contact while immersed in liquid, such as within body joints.
Tribonucleation
List the components of the SCREAM check for oxygen systems.
S=Supply
C=Connections
R=Regulator
E=Emergency Equipment
A=Adjustments to mask
M=Mask Condition
A condition that may develop as a result of not moving for a long time?
Deep Vein Thrombosis
