Dynamics of Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output During Parabolic Flight, and Its Relationship to Intravascular Volume
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT02518880
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Caen
- Brief Summary
To understand the cardiovascular reactions of the human body to changing conditions of gravity is an important aim of space science. In this context, cardiac output (CO) is a key value to estimate the human cardiovascular system.
The main objective of this experiment is to determine the effects of parabolic flight on intravascular volume, and how these changes modulate the complex haemodynamics induced by the parabolas.
