Description of the Dynamic Responses to Hypoxia:Ventilation, Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Blood Pressure (BP), and Heart Rate (HR)

This thesis describes experiments to measure the ventilatory response to hypoxia at a constant (isocapnic) level of CO2 (HVR) in 18 subjects. So as to provide a complete picture of the autonomic responses, middle cerebral artery velocity, a surrogate for cerebral blood flow (CBF), as well as finger...
