Abstract

A methodology for the assessment of the cerebral hemodynamic reaction to normotensive hypovolemia, reduction in cerebral perfusion and orthostatic stress leading to ischemic hypoxia and reduced muscular tension is presented. Most frequently, the pilots of highly maneuverable aircraft are exposed to these phenomena. Studies were carried out using the system consisting of a chamber that generates low pressure around the lower part of the body - LBNP (lower body negative pressure) placed on the tilt table. An in-house developed 6-channel NIRS system operating at 735 and 850 nm was used in order to assess the oxygenation of the cerebral cortex, based on measurements of diffusely reflected light in reflectance geometry. The measurements were carried out on a group of 12 active pilots and cadets of the Polish Air Force Academy and 12 healthy volunteers. The dynamics of changes in cerebral oxygenation was evaluated as a response to LBNP stimuli with a simultaneous rapid change of the tilt table angle. Parameters based on calculated changes of total hemoglobin concentration were proposed allowing to evaluate differences in reactions observed in control subjects and pilots/cadets. The results of orthogonal partial least squares-discrimi...Continue Reading
