Abstract:
Objective:To summarize and review the hot topics in the field of aviation medicine abroad and to grasp the latest research progress in military aviation medicine, so as to provide references for future research in this field. Literature resource and selection Relevant published literatures on the subject of military aviation medicine. Literature quotation Thirty-three relevant published journal articles, 1 monograph, 2 reports, and 1 electronic bulletin. Literature synthesis Issues such as flight fatigue and reduced operational capability due to long-duration flights, cognitive decline due to hypoxia, and strategies to enhance endurance and physical fitness during daily training and execution of high-intensity combat tasks are current hot topics in foreign military aviation medicine research. In the field of aviation medicine, flight fatigue is interacted with emotional cognitive. Visual mismatch negative waves may be an early and reliable predictor of sensory and cognitive impairment during hypoxic exposure. The influencing factors and prevention and treatment of cervical and lumbar spine injuries in flying personnel have always been a common concern for aviation medical professionals. At the same time, the changes in physical fitness training and assessment standards for American flying personnel have also changed significantly. Conclusions:The continuous attention should be on the effects of fatigue, hypoxia, and cervical and lumbar spine injuries on flying personnel. It is crucial to comprehensively and systematically enhance the cognitive abilities and physical training of flying personnel, to build an aviation medical system more suited to our military, to improve flight capabilities and work efficiency, and to ensure the maximum safety and physical and mental health of flying personnel, thereby to provide robust aviation medical support for executing diverse military missions.
