  • Title: [Relationship between the hemodynamic disorders in cosmonauts on short-term space flights and orthostatic stability].
    Author: Fomina GA, Kotovskaia AR, Zhernavkov AF, Pochuev VI.
    Journal: Aviakosm Ekolog Med; 2005; 39(3):14-20. PubMed ID: 16193921.
    Abstract:
    Comparative investigation of the hemodynamic responses of cosmonauts at rest, during occlusive leg plethysmography, and LBNP in relatively short (less than a month) space flights were performed to tie up these measurements with post-landing orthostatic stability (OS). The decreased LBNP tolerance in flight that correlated later on with impaired reactions to both active and passive orthostatic testing are attributed, among other reasons, to deficient vasoconstriction of the main arteries and over-extendibility of veins in the lower extremities. Results of ultrasonic investigations of hemodynamics during LBNP tests before and after space flight and data of leg venous extension in SF can and should be used in predicting cosmonaut's orthostatic status post flight.
