Summary

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.

Conditions

exposure to occupational noise

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

PROCEDURE

cardiovascular valuation

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