A total of 112 parachute jumps involving 31 subjects were evaluated. All the subjects exhibited a significant increase in heart rate during the exit, canopy opening and landing phases. Qualitatively, the heart rate curves of the formation, manual and automatic parachutists showed a similar trend. Rises in heart rate during the opening of the parachute (for the formation parachutists) and during landing (for the automatic parachutists) were, however, particularly pronounced. The increase in heart rate can be principally ascribed to emotional tension and a state of anticipation rather than to physical stress. The comparative evaluation of the ergometer tests showed that as a general rule stress factors in the submaximal region occur during parachuting, but that in extreme situations heart rates in the maximal region of physical stress may well be expected.</p>","PeriodicalId":75603,"journal":{"name":"Biotelemetry and patient monitoring","volume":"9 4","pages":"238-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18197822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of the electrode by a suction instrument does not influence the TcPO2 level recorded and the use of this technique is very simple. However, the main disadvantage of the suction instrument is that the electrode is easily detached. Application of the electrode by glue is technically a little more difficult but has the advantage of being much more efficient.

The TcPO2 electrode was mounted on the dorsum of the foot and operated at 43 degrees C, while the blood pressure was changed by elevating and lowering the foot. During elevation the mean arterial blood pressure decreased corresponding to the hydrostatic pressure of the column of blood between the heart and the position of the foot. In every experiment TcPO2 decreased when the foot was elevated at an average rate of 1.2% per millimeter Hg change in mean arterial blood pressure. TcPO2 was negatively correlated to blood flow in normal unheated tissue, but significantly and positively correlated to blood flow in the heated, vasodilated tissue under the TcPO2 electrode. In the heated tissue normal blood flow regulation was abolished, and the perfusion under the electrode was mainly determined by the arterial blood pressure. It is concluded that TcPO2 in adults--and probably also in neonates--is affected by the minor or large variations in the perfusion under the electrode caused by fluctuations in arterial blood pressure.</p>","PeriodicalId":75603,"journal":{"name":"Biotelemetry and patient monitoring","volume":"9 3","pages":"175-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18175057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
