Occupational vasoneurosis

From WikiLectures

Professional vasoneurosis occurs during long-term work with vibrating machines (pneumatic hammers, jackhammers, grinders, chainsaws).

  • under the arterial muscle hypertrophy of the arteries of the fingers, vasospasm is more easily formed
  • at work (especially in the cold + humidity) whitening of the fingers + painful paresthesias
  • exceptionally skin trophic changes
  • sometimes combined with oppression in the upper thoracic aperture / SKK
  • muscles and bones can also be affected by vibrations
  • the difficulty is alleviated with the termination of the risky work
