Tricyclic Antidepressants Found in Pilots Fatally Injured in Civil Aviation AccidentsTricyclic Antidepressants Found in Pilots Fatally Injured in Civil Aviation Accidents

[摘要] Since the 1950s, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) have been used for treating depression. The prevalence of this group of antidepressants in the pilot population has not been explored. Therefore, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) aviation accident and the Federal Aviation Administration�s (FAA�s) Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) toxicology and medical certification databases were searched for the necessary information related to pilots fatally injured in aviation accidents.
