Seal location must be standardized in LBNP protocols; leaves open optimal placement for central hypovolemia models.
Does seal location (upper abdomen vs iliac crest) affect central cardiovascular responses to lower body negative pressure in healthy males?
The cardiovascular and hemodynamic responses to lower body negative pressure are significantly influenced by the anatomical location of the applied seal, with upper abdomen sealing causing greater central blood volume reduction.
Goswami et al. (2009) studied this question.
