Man at High Sustained +Gz Acceleration
Abstract
Volunteer subjects were exposed to accelerations up to +8 Gz for 60 sec. Two separate studies were involved: The USAF-CSU-12/P anti-G garment was compared with the RAF 'mini' anti-G suit, and the M-1 maneuver was evaluated and compared with PPB at the same G levels. The numerous physiologic measurements included: direct eye-level arterial pressure; central venous pressure; esophageal and gastric pressures; suit and mask pressures; and ankle venous pressure. Arterial blood gas and pH measurements, A-P chest X-rays, and electrocardiographic data were also obtained. The results of this investigation and their interpretation have been published as USAFSAM-TR-73-21 (Leverett et al., 10).
