Fig. 3From: Effects of training flights of combat jet pilots on parameters of airway function, diffusing capacity and systemic oxidative stress, and their association with flight parametersA–C Effects in terms of percent changes of outcome variables of diffusing capacity as a function of combinations of the binary exposure parameters used in Fig. 2. Duration and Altitude: flight duration above 86 min and/or maximum flight altitude above 30,000 ft. Duration and G-force: flight duration above 86 min and/or 4 Gz more than 11 times per flight. G-force and Altitude: 4 Gz more than 11 times per flight and/or maximum flight altitude above 30,000 ft. G-force, Altitude and Duration: 4 Gz more than 11 times per flight and/or maximum flight altitude above 30,000 ft and/or flight duration above 86 min. Panel A: DLNO = diffusing capacity for NO, Panel B: DLCO = diffusing capacity for CO, Panel C: VA = alveolar volume. Estimates from mixed model ANOVA and their 95% confidence intervals are shownBack to article page
