Abstract Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATTs) care for 5 to 10% of the injured/ill warriors transported on military aircraft to definitive treatment facilities. The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of altitude-induced hypoxia and aircraft noise on the cognitive/physiological performance of CCATT providers and to examine the contributions of fatigue and clinical experience to performance under conditions of altitude-induced hypoxia and aircraft noise. The participants completed a simulated patient scenario under conditions of aircraft cabin noise and altitude.
