Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article presents a format of aeromedical decision-making used in neurology cases referred to a U.S. Navy Special Board of Flight Surgeons (SBFS) from 1988 to 1990. The format consists of a series of questions addressing aeromedical concerns, an aeromedical disposition flowchart, and a decision analysis tree. Decision Analysis is a tool used in clinical medicine to assist decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. The Decision Analysis approach may be applied to complex aeromedical disposition questions that face flight surgeons. The concept of risk assessment as it applies to decision-making and aeromedical disposition is discussed. The outcome of 24 neurology cases referred for aeromedical disposition are presented.
