Abstract:The digital rheoplethysmogram was recorded from 10 normal human subjects during the act of ‘simulated diving’, i.e. submersion of the face in a pan full of water. Digital vascular responses to various maneuvers and stimuli associated with simulated diving were also studied. In general, digital vasoconstriction was seen after most maneuvers and stimuli associated with the diving phenomenon (other than placing the face in water itself). The response of the pulse rate was variable, although a decrease was usually… Show more
