OBJECTIVE To investigate the features of BP, HR, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and heart rate variation (HRV) during sequential head-up tilt table test (HUT) and provide information for methodology of testing tendency to syncope in pilots. METHODS Sixteen healthy male were exposed to HUT +45 degrees 20 min, +60 degrees 20 min, and +75 degrees 20 min respectively with 5 min rests in between. CBFV, HR, HRV, BP were measured with transcranial doppler image (TCI), 12-Lead in phase ECG. RESULTS 1) As the tilt angle became larger, HR and DBP increased gradually (P<0.05), with SBP, PP and CBF Velocity (Vs,Vm,Vd) descended. There were significant differences among the various conditions. CV became smaller before +75 degrees, and then it began to increase. 2) Correlation between physiological indices and techno-indices were analyzed. At the point of 1 min, tilt angle was significantly positively correlated with SBP, DBP, MAP, Vd, and sdRR (P<0.01); At the point of 20 min, tilt angle was significantly positively correlated with HR and sdRR (P<0.01), but negatively correlated with SBP, PP, Vs and mRR (P<0.01), time of exposure was positively correlated with HP (P< 0.01), but negatively correlated with Vm, Vd, and mRR (P<0.01). 3) Correlation among physiological indices were also analyzed. HR were negatively correlated with SBP, Vs, Vm and Vd (P<0.01), SBP were significantly positively correlated with Vd, and mRR (P<0.01). Vs, Vm, Vd were significantly positively correlated with mRR and sdRR (P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS By investigating HR, BP, HRV and CBFV during of different angles, some advises for evaluating the tendency to syncope in pilots were put forward.

D013575 Syncope A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope.
