Abstract:

It has been a noted problem that medical staff wearing medical protective clothing for a long time would feel hot and humid, leading to fatigue and low work efficiency. A research based on human wearing experiment is carried out. Through the analysis of human thermal physiology and subjective fatigue parameters, the influence of the thermal-moist comfort performance of medical protective clothing on human fatigue was analyzed. The results show that the thermal-moist comfort of protective clothing with short sleeves is the best, and that with long sleeve and thick suit was the worst.Wearing protective clothing with different thermal-moist comfort performance has different effects on human fatigue under different exercise intensity. Wearing protective clothing in the state of sitting, the difference of human fatigue degree is small. Under the conditions of low, medium and high exercise intensity and recovery, it was shown that the worse the thermal-moist comfort of protective clothing, the deeper the fatigue degree of human body. The average skin temperature, heart rate and metabolic equivalent of energy were found to be significantly correlated with subjective fatigue. Regression analysis was used to get the model of fatigue and heart beat rate, which reflects the fatigue degree of human body.

Key words: medical protective clothing, thermal-moist comfort, metabolism, mean skin temperature, fatigue
