Objective:To develop corresponding aviation otitis media intervention measures by investigating and analyzing the related factors in civil aviation aircrews.Methods:A total of 4 789 civil aviation aircrews were selected as the subjects of observation. The incidence of aviation otitis media among civil aviation aircrew was evaluated by 7-items Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire, and the possible influencing factors were investigated and statistically analyzed.Results:All 4 789 survey questionnaires were validate. In this survey, the total flying hours was mainly 1 000-5 000 h, and the main aircraft was A320. There were 613 out of 4 789 civil aviation aircrews had suffered from aviation otitis media/secretory otitis media, accounting for 12.80%. In which 91.96% had no ear discharge or watery discharge, 70.81% had not experienced rhinitis/sinusitis, and more than 90% had no tonsil hypertrophy, no thin or calcified tympanic membrane, no history of surgery for the eustachian tube or middle ear cavity, and no ear tightness or occasional ear tightness that resolves spontaneously. The severity of ear tightness was mainly distributed in 0-3 points range, accounting for 88.70%. In which 43.62% were with no ear tightness and 45.10% were with mild ear tightness. Among the 4 789 civil aviation aircrews, the severity of ear tightness of left and right ears had the highest incidence rate of 1 point, followed by 2 points, and the incidence rate of 3-7 points was relatively low. The incidence rate of 1-2 points was significantly higher than that of 3-7 points, and the difference was significant (( χ2=2 135.68-7 623.25, P=0.001-0.004). Conclusions:Most of the Chinese civil aviation aircrews have good eustachian tube function, but there are still a few cases of aviation otitis media. Regular inspections and timely and effective interventions are crucial for protecting the eustachian tube function and reducing the incidence of aviation otitis media in civil aviation aircrews.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of low dose S-ketamine in analgesia of elderly patients with non-traumatic acute abdomen (NTAA) in emergency department.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trail. From January to August 2021, elderly patients with NTAA in the Emergency Department of the No. 904 Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force were selected. Analgesia was administered intravenously with 0.3 mg/kg S-ketamine or 0.1 mg/kg morphine injection for 15 min. Visual analogue score (VAS), respiratory rate, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse oxygen saturation were recorded at 15 min, 30 min, 60 min and 90 min. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores were recorded at 90 min after injection. The incidence of salvage analgesia, incidence of adverse reactions and diagnostic accuracy after analgesia were recorded in the two groups. VAS scores and vital signs were compared between the two groups by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons between and within groups were performed.Results:A total of 137 elderly patients with NTAA were selected and randomly divided into two groups: S-ketamine group (SK group, 68 cases) and morphine group (M group, 69 cases). After the exclusion of patients with abscission, 39 cases were included in the SK group and 45 cases in the M group. VAS score of the SK group was significantly lower than that of the M group in 15 min after administration [(3.1±1.8) vs. (4.8±2.2)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.013). There were no significant differences in vital signs and MMSE score between the two groups or within the group at each time point after medication (all P>0.05). However, the incidence of dizziness in the SK group was significantly higher than that in the M group (61.54% vs. 31.11%, P=0.005). Conclusions:Intravenous administration of low dose S-ketamine is not considered to be more effective than morphine in alleviating acute abdominal pain in elderly patients with NTAA. S-ketamine provides not only satisfactory analgesia but also short recovery time and high controllability. S-ketamine is one of the recommended analgesic alternatives of NTAA for elderly patients in emergency.
