About the Book

Ernsting's Aviation and Space Medicine applies current understanding in medicine, physiology and the behavioural sciences to the medical challenges and stresses that are faced by both civil and military aircrew, and their passengers, on a daily basis. The sixth edition of this established textbook and clinical reference has been revised and updated by a multi-disciplinary team of experienced contributors, many new to this edition. The structure of the book has been refined, bringing related chapters together where appropriate, while the clinical content has been carefully streamlined in line with the specific requirements of the aviation medicine practitioner and adviser, with new chapters added on Commercial Space Travel, Skin Disease and Women's Health.

Key Features:

  • Convenient - embraces all aspects of aviation medicine in a single volume, divided into four parts for ease of reference: Aviation Physiology & Aircrew Systems, Space Physiology & Medicine, Clinical Aviation Medicine and Operational Aviation Medicine
  • Comprehensive - covers all forms of military and passenger-carrying aircraft, including issues surrounding passenger safety and transport of the sick and injured
  • Aids detailed understanding - focuses on the principles underlying the standards in the field rather than just the standards themselves
  • Applicable worldwide - addresses international issues, including worldwide regulation of medical standards, and travel and disease
  • Accessible - chapter summaries enable rapid assimilation of key points while key references and suggestions for further reading encourage in-depth learning
  • eBook included - text fully online and searchable via VitalSource eBook

The text remains the recommended coursebook for those studying for the Diploma in Aviation Medicine of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians, recognized worldwide as an exemplary standard in the field, and for similar worldwide qualifications. It is an essential companion for all civil and military aviation medicine practitioners, both when preparing for professional examinations and in daily practice, and for those in the many disciplines of the behavioural and life sciences that include some study of aviation, its physiology and related issues. It is also recommended reading for those with a wider interest in the medical problems of professional or recreational flying, air transport and the aviation industry.
