Abstract

Barotitis media (BM) frequently occurr in High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) training simulation as a result from rapid change of pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate septal deviation and other risk factors that increase the risk of BM. This experimental study was conducted at the Indonesian Center for Aviation Medicine and Health (Lakespra Saryanto) during May – July 2007 involving Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) HAHO training. Medical examinations were performed before and after training. An otolaryngologist confirm the diagnosis of BM. Cox regression analysis using STATA 9.0 program was performed to identify dominant risk factors for BM. A number of 177 subjects participated in this study. We found 56.5% had BM after training. Septal deviation was found in 28.8% of the subjects and it moderately increased the risk of BM by 23% than normal septum [adjusted relative risk (RRα) = 1.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.95 – 1.60; p=0.123]. Those who have been smoking for 1-3 years had 70% increase risk for BM than non-smoking subjects (RRα= 1.68; 95% CI = 1.17 – 2.42). Those who have been in the force for 5 years or longer were 50% more at risk for BM than those who have been in the force less than 5 years. In addition, trainees had 40% higher risk than subjects with special qualifications for HAHO (RRα = 1.40; 95% CI = 0.99 – 1.97; p = 0.051). Special caution need to be applied for those who had septal deviation, longer working period, habit of smoking for 1-3 years, and trainees to minimize the risk of BM.

Abstract

Introduction: Military pilots require good cardiorespiratory fitness due to the need to perform tasks in difficult and varied environmental conditions. Cardiorespiratory fitness is usually expressed in terms of maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2 max). It is important to know the factors associated with V̇O2 max in order to maintain the fitness of Indonesian Air Force pilots. This study was conducted to assess the association between body fat percentage with V̇O2 max of Indonesian Air Force pilots.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on active Indonesian Air Force pilots who carried out periodic medical examinations from October to November 2022 at Lakespra dr. Saryanto, Jakarta. The research subjects underwent body composition examinations using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), and V̇O2 max assessment was conducted using the Bruce protocol. The association between body fat percentage and V̇O2 max value was assessed by Pearson’s correlation test.Results: Of the 64 subjects analysed, the average value of V̇O2 max was 44.6±6.2 ml/kg/min and the average body fat percentage was 23.4±5.0 %. There is a significant correlation between body fat percentage and V̇O2 max. (r=-0.334; p=0.007)Conclusion: There is a significant negative correlation with moderate strength between the body fat percentage and the V̇O2 max of Indonesian Air Force pilots who carried out medical examination at Lakespra dr. Saryanto.
