    Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2010; 20(2): 31-38

    Abstract : Background: Headache is one of the most common symptoms in the clinical practice. It has been reported that physical or psychological stressful environments are determinant risk factors for headache disorders. Because many pilots are exposed to these risk factors, they may have been suffered from headache burden. However, few studies on the prevalence and the burden of headache in pilots were performed until now. Methods: Data were collected by interviewing 86 pilots. This was a cross-sectional study using a semi-structured interview with a quality-of-life scale (WHOQOL- BREF), and questionnaires to measure headache burden (HIT-6). Results: 54 of studied pilots (62.8%) experienced headache episode during the life time. Three months prevalence was 25.6%. Twenty-one (24.4%) pilots reported past medical history except headache. 17 (73.9%) pilots of those having headache episodes within previous 3 months were diagnosed with primary headache. Two (2.3%) were diagnosed with airplane headache. Only alcohol intake times per week was associated with headache in pilots (P=0.047). Although most pilots with headache reported “a little” or “none” degree in the HIT-6, they showed lower WHOQOL- BREF score than no current headache group. Only 2 (9.1%) pilots sought medical assistance during headache episodes. Conclusion: This is the first study on the prevalence and the impact of headache in ROKAF pilots. Although headache was more frequent disease than other medical problems in pilots, headache disorders were undertreated in pilots. Regarding to a special occupation of pilots, the burden of headache disorders in pilots was not low. Further research will be needed to determine the exact prevalence and impact of headache on social functions in pilots.

    Medical CRM 도입 필요성과 방안에 관한 고찰

    Bohun Kwon, Ph.D., Jinkook Choi, Ph.D., JoungSoon Jang, M.D.
    Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2015; 25(2): 43-49

    Abstract : Population based research suggests that in the United States between 44,000 and 98,000 patients die each year from preventable errors, making medical error the eighth most common cause of death. As early as 1994, the medical community began evaluating best practices from the aviation industry as a possible avenue for reducing errors that occur in operating rooms and trauma situations. Aviation crew resource management (CRM) training, based on effective communication and teamwork skills, may translate to healthcare through error management training. Aviation and healthcare have similar point that focused on safety and efficiency. Now we need to discuss on introducing CRM that was proved as one of the successful tool for reducing human error and increasing safety.

    Abstract : The crash of Germanwings flight 9525 was tremendously shocking disaster because it has been turned out that the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, deliberately descended the plane to the crash site while the pilot locked out of the cockpit. It also has been revealed that Lubitz had been treated for suicidal tendencies before getting his pilot license and was taking prescription drugs for depression and anxiety. Aftermath, international debate took place on the issues of regulatory measures for pilots’ mental illnesses for prevention of aircraft-assisted suicide. In this review, previous results on aircraft-assisted suicide and possible ways of its prevention were discussed. Aircraft-assisted suicide is still very uncommon, accounting for less than 0.5% of all fatal aviation accidents. Suicide can be resulted from complex interactions among bio-psycho-social factors which constitute the “stress-diathesis model”. Excessively strict regulation for depression would foment pilots to conceal their mental problems and it would rather compromise aviation safety. Statistically, the strongest risk factor of aircraft-assisted suicide is being alone in the cockpit (odds ratio=38.7). Overall, it is important to provide easy access to confidential mental health service and to ensure the “rule of two” in the cockpit to prevent pilot suicide and promote aviation safety.

    Wireless Body Sensor Network의 응용

    Wooseok Hyun, Ph.D.1, Ilsun Yoo, Ph.D.1, JoungSoon Jang, M.D., Ph.D.2
    Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2015; 25(3): 80-84

    Abstract : Wireless body sensor network (WBSN) technologies are considered one of the key research areas in computer science. When combined with the healthcare application, two technologies are consolidating into one comprehensive healthcare monitering solution in extreme situations including high altitude or space. Ultra-low power networks of sensors can collect important physiologic informations from the surrounding environment. The sensed physiological data is then transmitted to an interface server which in turn sends the data a remote healthcare provider. Sensor networks are irregular clusters of communicating sensor nodes, which collect and process information from onboard sensors, and they can share some of this information with neighboring or surrounding nodes. In this study, we develop a wireless physiological sensor architecture which integrates a Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) and different sensors to sense physiological data for a person, and then rehearses to transmits the data to a remote healthcare system through a smartphone as an interface, rather than via an interface server. The system can classifies the receiving data based on person ID and types of sensors, and distributes the classified data to their corresponding databases in the healthcare system.

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can lead to severe complications if left untreated, and therefore should be adequately diagnosed and treated, especially in airline workers. The aviation medical examiner (AME) should induce the patient to cooperate for the diagnosis and treatment of OSAS, by notifying the subject that it does not cause disqualification of the air service and that it is a disease that can be sufficiently controlled and treated by various treatment options. AME should also warn about medical complications and the possibility of serious air accident risks when untreated, and encourage the subject to receive appropriate diagnosis and steady treatment such as continuous positive airway pressure and/or surgical treatment.

    Abstract : "The cabin environment has many physiological effects on commercial aircraft passengers and medical providers, and environmental stress factors exist. Therefore, it is important for medical providers to understand the effects of aviation physiology and cabin environment on the human body. It should also be remembered that these physiological changes and environmental stress factors can affect passengers as well as flight crew and also medical equipment. Providing medical assistance during a flight offers a number of unique challenges including lower cabin pressure, tight quarters, crowded conditions, and loud background noise. The purpose of this Korean guideline is to offer an overview on various in-flight emergencies that could be anticipated and to outline treatment priorities."

    Abstract : In the case of aviation maintenance work, several kinds of shift works are performed during day and night, and a lot of works are performed on the ramp due to the characteristics of the aircraft flight schedule. Maintenance workers are often exposed to the sun or in cold temperatures for aircraft maintenance works. The fatigue risk of the maintenance workers will be weighted. In particular, the work at night shift under normal biological rhythms can make maintenance workers feel sleepy during daytime work. It can also affect the safety of aircraft and individual workers. Accordingly, this study will consider fatigue-related previous researches in the field of aviation maintenance, review the effects of shift work, and how fatigue affects aviation mechanics during the day/night shifts. Considering these factors, we tried to present a plan that can minimize the fatigue of aviation workers through this study

    Deterioration and Recurrence in Flight Passengers with Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence Based Case Report

    Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by a sudden neurological deficit due to thrombotic or embolic event. The physiological changes during in-flight related to high altitude, hypobaric hypoxic, is a condition that can affect blood circulation in the brain. There was limited evidence to prove the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. This evidence-based case report aims to determine the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke on commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke related to hypoxia hypobaric during the in-flight or post-flight period. Three relevant articles were found in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Ingenta library databases. After critical appraisal, all of the relevant articles were shown to be valid, important, and applicability with the level of evidence ranging from III–IV. There were no studies that reported a clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. However, two studies reported a new case of ischemic stroke during in-flight with unknown etiology. Commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke didn’t show any clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of ischemi stroke during in-flight or post-flight.

    SHELL 모델에 근거한 의료사고 인적요인 분석의 탐색적 연구

    Abstract : The SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) model is one of the models for determining the cause of aviation accidents. The human factors of medical accidents are analyzed through the SHELL model. This study is a case study that analyzed a total of three cases, including two medical accident court precedents and one large fire at a medical institution. In the human factor analysis of cases 1 and 2, the main factors were that liveware (human) violated the duty of care and did not follow the guidelines of the institution. The large fire incident in the hospital in Case 3 was caused by a lack of awareness of the safety of managers, the installation of illegal facilities and environments, lack of medical staff’s response and training, and the condition of patients who were mostly elderly. The liveware at the center of the SHELL model is the most important human factor, and the environment, facilities, and equipment surrounding liveware must be supplemented to prevent future medical accidents.

    항공분야에서의 블록체인 기술 현황

    Abstract : Blockchain is a type of distributed database managed through multiple network transaction details (P2P, Peer to Peer), and transaction information is stored on multiple computers (nodes) connected to the blockchain network instead of storing it in one server. It is an algorithm that binds transaction details to form blocks, connects multiple blocks like a chain, and then copies and distributes them by a large number of people. In the case of the aviation industry, it is worth making full use of blockchain technology to revolutionize existing systems and business processes in terms of cost and transaction transparency, so blockchain can become one of the innovative technologies that will change the paradigm of the aviation industry. As the blockchain market is still in an immature stage and the development of technology is expected in the future, it is necessary to prepare support measures to lead and preempt the global blockchain market in the future through development support and cooperation that can be actively used in the field.

    한국공군의 예측적 안전관리를 위한 FOQA 시스템 고찰 연구

    Abstract : In 1962, British Airways implemented Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) for the first time in order to reduce the rate of increase in aviation accidents, which could increase due to the expansion of the aviation industry and the increase in traffic. After that, in 1995, it was developed for the purpose of collecting/analyzing flight data on technical defects and dangerous situations that occur in actual flights through voluntary participation programs by U.S. airlines. In the private sector, it has been regulated and operated in most countries since early 2000 according to the recommendations of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration. In addition, civil airlines are required to conduct FOQA as part of Safety Management System in accordance with ICAO ANNEX-6. The U.S. Air Force benchmarks the FOQA safety program in the civilian sector and applies it under the name of Military FOQA. Therefore, in the Republic of Korea Air Force, there is a need to ensure flight safety in an objective and scientific way by deriving event parameters for the introduction of the flight data analysis system in order to perform predictive safety management in accordance with the trend of the times.

    The Improvement of Pilot Fatigue Management

    Abstract : The fatigue of pilots is the most threatening factor in aviation safety internationally, requiring continuous management. In order to prevent aircraft accidents that may occur due to fatigue, this paper analyzes fatigue-related accident cases and previous research and suggests ways to improve the fatigue management of pilots. Problems in major fatigue accidents were active communication failure, lack of leadership of the captain, inadequate contingency management, lack of workload management, and the most important factors in accidents were inadequate decision making of continuing an approach without going around. It is necessary to proactively improve and establish go-around culture in the organization and manage human factors with training and procedures of Threat and Error Management and Crew Resource Management. In order to fundamentally prevent accidents related to fatigue fundamentally, it is necessary to establish Fatigue Risk Management and Safety Management System, and identify the actual threats and errors in the cockpit of the aircraft.

    항공교통관제분야 교대근무자를 위한 피로관리 전략

    Abstract : Recently, shift work, including night shift, has been widely implemented in modern society. These include workplaces that have to work 24 hours a day for production processes, such as petrochemicals, power plants, and steel industries, as well as industries necessary to secure public services such as gas and electricity. In particular, workers in the aviation sector are mostly engaged in shift work due to the nature of their 24 hours of continuous work. Most shift workplaces comply with legal work regulations, but they fail to take into account workers’ fatigue and focus only on compliance with regulatory requirements. Specifically, shift work needs to provide minimum guidelines for workers’ safety and health. Therefore, this study analyzed and reviewed the current status of shift work in the air traffic control field, where shift work is essential, and presented guidelines for the safety and health care of shift workers. First of all, the international shift work guidelines and domestic laws related to shift work were reviewed, and the characteristics of the shift work system in the air traffic control field were reviewed. For the guidelines, we discussed the shift method, shift speed (direction), shift work hours and hours, night work, and other considerations.

    포스트 코로나 대비 항공종사자 건강증진 방안: 싱잉볼 명상을 중심으로

    Abstract : COVID-19 has severely impacted the aviation industry, with air travel declining sharply and airlines cutting capacity as a result. Additionally, many countries have closed their borders to block spread of the virus. Air traffic controllers and pilots have also experienced negative effects, in that the experience required to maintain proficiency has decreased over the past three years. This has resulted in financial problems for airlines and air traffic control facilities, leading to increased job uncertainty and a manpower imbalance. As air traffic volumes begin to increase again, air traffic controllers and pilots responsible for passenger safety may experience extreme stress and anxiety in new situations. To address this problem, healthcare methods are needed to help aviation professionals to overcome stress and reduce anxiety. Meditation can stabilize the autonomic nervous system, promote relaxation and comfort in the mind and body, and could aid in smooth metabolism by suppressing the sympathetic nerves that cause our bodies to feel tension and activating the parasympathetic nerves. However, achieving the benefits of meditation can require time and effort, and general meditation can be challenging for individuals experiencing physical pain.

    Abstract : Currently, an important keyword for safety issues in Korean society is the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment (SAP) Act. The purpose of enacting the SAP Act is to prevent accidents and disasters by establishing a system in which society, business, and organizations systematically manage safety and health. The mandatory measures for the enforcement of the SAP Act are to have manpower and budget necessary for accident prevention, and to establish and implement a safety and health management system. Measures concerning the establishment and implementation of the safety and health system begin with the application or risk management procedures to identify hazards, eliminate risk factors, and prepare control measures. In order to increase the validity of the risk management application results, it is important to apply a technique for risk assessment that systematically evaluates risk factors. Therefore, this study intends to examine the recent trends and implications of risk assessment techniques. First, based on the risk assessment guidelines of the MOEL in Korea, major risk assessment techniques were considered and examples were presented. The representative risk assessment techniques consider are 4M, Checklist, HAZOP (HAZards & Operability Studies), What-IF, JSA(Job Safety Analysis), FTA (Fault Tree Analysis), ETA (Event Tree Analysis), and CCA (Cause Consequence Analysis).
