News Worthy FACTS® Training Takes Hypoxia Awareness Simulation and Training to Client's Facility (OLYMPIA, WA - September 29, 2005) FACTS Training, an AirCare Solutions Group company, recently announced the Hypoxia Awareness/Decompression module in the FACTS® emergency procedures training curriculum is available, as a stand alone safety program, at the client's facility. The FACTS ROBD™ (Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device) provides crewmembers with the opportunity to experience hypoxia in a controlled and monitored environment. Hypoxia awareness can be a life saving experience that 92% of all crews surveyed agreed needs to be included in all emergency training programs. Rather than physically exposing a subject to lower total pressure in a decompression chamber, risking injury, crewmembers can experience the effects of hypoxia using a proven system that changes the composition of the gas mixture inhaled. The FACTS ROBD™ is the only hypoxia awareness tool readily available to corporate pilots, flight attendants, and even frequent flyers, without the risks involved in using a decompression chamber. "Our success is attributed to always being the frontrunner in providing new and challenging training experiences for corporate pilots and flight attendants", said Doug Mykol, CEO, of the AirCare Solutions Group. He went on to say, "Making the full Hypoxia Awareness Training program and the FACTS ROBD™ available at the client's facility is not only convenient and cost effective, it virtually assures that all crewmembers have the opportunity to experience their own symptoms of hypoxia ...All to better prepare for emergencies." The FACTS® ROBD can simulate up to 30,000 foot altitudes, in a safe environment, to train and familiarize crewmembers with the dangerous and paralyzing effects of hypoxia. While experiencing the ROBD, each crewmember is monitored for heart rate and oxygen saturation levels, and tested for reduced visual capabilities and degraded motor and cognitive functions, any of which could lead to catastrophic consequences in flight. Experience with the effects of hypoxia and how each individual responds differently, provides the crewmember with a benchmark of their own time of useful consciousness (TUC) available to respond to an emergency, appropriately. This program can be offered at the client's facility, twice daily, to accommodate busy flight department schedules. Each crewmember receives a workbook, testing, and a High Altitude Hypoxia Awareness Training certificate upon successfully completing the program.
