MAXIMUM VOLUNTARY VENTILATION AFTER + G SUB X IMPACT IN HUMANS

Abstract

Eighteen volunteer male subjects were exposed to 20 + G sub x impact on the Daisy Decelerator. Measurements of maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) obtained 10 minutes prior to, immediately after and 20 minutes after impact were compared with previously determined baseline MVV values. The results indicate that MVV performance is elevated immediately after impact. It is suggested that this response is related to subject anxiety with accompanying sympathicotonia.
