Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Despite frequent reporting of blood pressure during profound passive heat stress, both with and without a hypotensive challenge, the method by which blood pressure is measured often varies between laboratories. It is unknown whether auscultatory and finger blood pressure measures accurately reflect intra-arterial blood pressure during dynamic changes in cardiac output and peripheral resistance associated with the aforementioned conditions. The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that auscultatory blood pressure (BP(AUSC)) measured at the brachial artery, and finger blood pressure measured by the Penaz method (BP(PENAZ)), are valid measures of intra-arterial blood pressure (BP(INTRA)) during a passive heat stress and a heat-stressed orthostatic challenge, via lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Absolute (Specific Aim 1) and the change in (Specific Aim 2) systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures (SBP, DBP, MBP, respectively) were compared at normothermia, after a core temperature increase of 1.47±0.09°C and during subsequent LBNP. Heat stress did not change SBP(AUSC) (6 ±11 mmHg; P = 0.16), but SBP(PENAZ) (-22 ±16 mmHg; P<0.001) and SBP(INTRA) (-11±13 mmHg P=0.017) decreased. In contrast, DBP and MBP did not differ between methods throughout heat stress. Compared to blood pressure prior to LBNP, the magnitude of the reduction in blood pressure with all 3 methods were similar throughout LBNP (P>0.05). In conclusion, SBP(AUSC) and SBP(PENAZ) failed to track the decrease in SBP(INTRA) that occurred during the profound heat stress, while decreases in arterial blood pressure during an orthostatic challenge are comparable between methodologies.
