Popis: Exposure to +Gz acceleration, orthostatic tilt tests and LBNP tests causes distinct blood shifts and deterioration of cerebral circulation. In this case syncope episodes may be prevented by continuous monitoring of circulation parameters, specifically arterial pressure (AP). Our investigations have shown that continuous AP measurement by the Penjaz noninvasive technique may help earlier prediction of the health status in response to gravity-induced blood shifts. In this situation the development of a pre-collapse state is preceded by an emergence of distinct AP waves of the second-third order accompanied by a critical drop of pulse pressure. It is concluded that continuous AP measurement in the finger according to the Penjaz noninvasive technique holds promise as a medical monitoring method in a altered gravitational field.
