Key result
During whole-body heating, dynamic carotid baroreceptor stimulation via neck pressure decreased cutaneous vascular conductance by 0.16 a.u. mmHg(-1) (P<0.05), and neck suction increased it by 0.07.

Baroreflex effects on cutaneous flow during heating should not yet inform practice; leaves open integration with thermoregulatory control.

Mean Difference: -0.16
p-value: p=<0.05
Carotid baroreceptor stimulation elicits dynamic changes in cutaneous vascular conductance, which are more apparent during whole-body heating.
Keller et al. (2006) studied resting humans (n=9). Dynamic carotid baroreceptor stimulation (neck pressure and neck suction) vs. prestimulus values and breath-hold/airflow control trials was evaluated on Peak cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) responses (MD -0.16, p=<0.05). During whole-body heating, dynamic carotid baroreceptor stimulation via neck pressure decreased cutaneous vascular conductance by 0.16 a.u. mmHg(-1) (P<0.05), and neck suction increased it by 0.07.
