Airsickness is one of the forms of motion sickness, and is of significance in both commercial and military flight. Whereas commercial airline passengers may simply feel poorly, the effect of airsickness on military aircrew may lead to a decrement in performance and adversely affect the mission. This is of major importance in the case of flight safety, when a pilot who is incapacitated may endanger the aircraft. The problem is particularly evident in pilot training, because of the high incidence of airsickness at this stage in the pilot's career. The majority of aircrew undergo habituation to airsickness during their service, with a reduction in symptoms and improved function. Although airsickness is a wellknown problem in aviation, we were unable to locate a review of this topic in the literature. This review focuses on the characteristics, clinical evaluation, and treatment of airsickness. It also presents the experience of the Israeli flight academy, and our solution for Navy pilots who have to contend with the risk of seasickness before taking to the air.
晕机是晕动病的一种形式，在商业飞行和军事飞行中都很重要。商业航空公司的乘客可能只是感觉不适，而晕机对军事机组人员的影响可能导致操作能力下降，并对任务产生不利影响。在飞行安全方面，这一点至关重要，因为失去能力的飞行员可能会危及飞机安全。这个问题在飞行员训练中尤为明显，因为在飞行员职业生涯的这个阶段晕机发生率很高。大多数机组人员在服役期间会对晕机产生适应性，症状会减轻，功能也会改善。尽管晕机在航空领域是一个众所周知的问题，但我们在文献中未能找到关于这个主题的综述。本综述重点关注晕机的特征、临床评估和治疗。它还介绍了以色列飞行学院的经验，以及我们为必须在空中飞行前应对晕船风险的海军飞行员提供的解决方案。
