Why the study?

Does posture affect peripheral vascular responses to lower body positive pressure?

Population

11 subjects (9 men, 2 women)

Comparison

Lower body positive pressure at 25 and 50 mmHg… vs Without LBPP in supine and upright postures

Design

Other

Implication

Posture modulates LBPP effects on leg conductance; leaves open clinical translation and mechanisms in disease states.

Structured PICO

Does posture affect peripheral vascular responses to lower body positive pressure?

Population

11 subjects (9 men, 2 women)

Intervention

Lower body positive pressure (LBPP) at 25 and 50 mmHg in supine and upright postures

Comparator

Without LBPP in supine and upright postures

Outcome

Peripheral vascular responses including heart rate, stroke volume, mean arterial pressure, leg and forearm blood flow, and leg and forearm vascular conductancesurrogate

The leg vascular response to lower body positive pressure is posture-dependent, decreasing in supine but increasing in upright postures.
