雷达作业人员昼夜不同作业班次心率和心率变异性的变化

Objective To investigate the circadian changes of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) on radar operators in day and night shifts. Methods Twenty-one military radar operators were selected as subject. Their HR was gotten from continually electrocardiogram recorded by a biomedical monitoring system in four different working shifts (morning, afternoon, early night and late night) and HRV was analyzed. In addition, each shift was divided into four phases and the average HR of different phases in same shift was compared. Results There was significant difference of average HR among four shifts (F=7. 287, P＜0.01). The average HR in late night was significantly lower than that in other three shifts. Comparing with morning and afternoon shifts, high frequency normalized unit (HFNU) in late night shift was significantly increased (P＜0.05). Low frequency normalized unit (LFNU) in late night shift was significantly decreased comparing with those in morning and afternoon shifts (P＜0. 05). The average HR in different phase of a shift showed significant differences among morning, afternoon and early night shifts (F= 5. 480, 3. 150, 3. 850,P＜0. 05 or P＜0. 01), and gradually decreased with working time. However, there was no significant difference of average HR in different working phase of late night shift. Conclusions Circadian change would significantly influence the HR and some HRV indices of military radar operators.
