Hypoxia and hyperthermia as factors of comorbidity in military personnel in mountainous desert areas
The results of the content analysis of the possible interaction of the factors of the mountain complex and hyperthermia, the key links in the formation of the syndrome of mutual burdening (comorbidity) when staying in a mountainous desert area are presented. The mutual aggravation of hypoxia and hyperthermia is manifested in a significant decrease in the functional capabilities and regulatory reserves of the soldier’s body, his work, and combat capability. It has been shown that mountain - desert dysadaptation, the synergistic effect of hypoxia and hyperthermia are manifested by disorders of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, changes in pulmonary ventilation indicators, blood gases, acid - base balance, blood viscosity, and its coagulability, processes of peroxide and free radical oxidation, protein catabolism.
