Astreinte physiologique des sapeurs pompiers lors de l'approche d'un feu Physiological constraint of firefighters during work

摘要

Introduction.-The present study is a contribution to quantifying constraints experienced by professional and voluntary firefighters when exposed to a fire.Methods and results.-Variation in mean skin temperature and heart rate of professional and voluntary firefighters were measured under a fire condition. Exposition to the heat during firefighting, increases considerably physiological parameters in a few minutes in professional as well as in voluntary firefighters.Conclusion.-These results indicate that the time passed to fight against fire, without risk of hyperthermia is very limited.
