title: [Apparatus for medico-physiologic studies of the functional state and work capacity of civil aviation pilots].
abstract: It has now become possible to study the functional state of the pilots and to appraise their performance capacity by using a complex set of equipment. During the pilot's operation this equipment provides for obtaining electrocardiograms, information on the heart rate, respiration rate, maximum arterial pressure measured on the finger, skin temperature at 4 points, ambient temperature, taking electromyograms, registering dermato-galvanic reactions after Tarkhanov and the rate of the reaction in response to light and sound. In addition to the mentioned data it is also possible to study during off-duty time the electroencephalogram in 2 leads, arterial pressure after Korotkov, dynamogram, critical fusion frequency, as well as data on the coordination of movements and thresholds of audio-sensitivity. The possibilty of using the described apparatus with other electric facilities will enable it to broaden the field of its application, up to an including its utilization in large-scale examinations of the population, occupational examinations and occupational screening.
