MAINTENANCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR ADAPTABILITY DURING PROLONGED WEIGHTLESSNESS
Abstract
Special techniques are expected to be necessary during prolonged zero gravity because of the absence of hydrostatic pressure influences to maintain cardiovascular adaptability and provide the orbiting astronaut with optimum tolerance for reentry stresses. A multiple tourniquet approach to intermittently obstruct venous return from the periphery has been devised,
