Alternative techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in extreme environments − A scoping review [PDF]

Resuscitation Plus
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for saving lives during cardiac arrest, but performing CPR in extreme environments poses unique challenges.

Horizontal running inside circular walls of Moon settlements: a comprehensive countermeasure for low-gravity deconditioning? [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Long-lasting exposure to low gravity, such as in lunar settlements planned by the ongoing Artemis Program, elicits muscle hypotrophy, bone demineralization, cardio-respiratory and neuro-control deconditioning, against which optimal countermeasures are ...

Energy Cost of Running Under Hypogravity in Well-Trained Runners and Triathletes: A Biomechanical Perspective

International Journal of Computer Science in Sport, 2019
Hypogravity treadmills have become a popular training tool in distance running and triathlon. Counter-intuitively, tibial acceleration load is not attenuated by hypogravity unloading during running, while, equally surprisingly, leaps become flatter ...

Elbow flexion enables rescuers with low BMI to deliver chest compressions in compliance with CPR guideline recommendations [PDF]

Scientific Reports
High quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival outcomes. Smaller rescuers have been found to be at risk of providing inadequate CPR, particularly relating to chest compression depth, especially in novice rescuers.

A new method for the performance of external chest compressions during hypogravity simulation [PDF]

Life Sciences in Space Research, 2018
Introduction 2015 UK resuscitation guidelines aim for 50-60mm depth when giving external chest compressions (ECCs). This is achievable in hypogravity if the rescuer flexes and extends their arms during CPR, or using a new method trialed; the ‘Mackaill ...

Evaluation of external cardiac massage performance during hypogravity simulation

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
Preservation of astronaut crew health during an exploration mission to the Moon or Mars will be crucial to mission success. The likelyhood of a life threatening medical condition occurring during a mission to Mars has been estimated by NASA to be 1% per ...

Gender influence on the performance of chest compressions in simulated hypogravity and microgravity

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2012
In the event of a cardiac arrest during microgravity exposure, external chest compressions (ECCs) which form the main part of basic life support should be carried out while the advanced life support equipment is being deployed.

Bioinformatic Study of Transcriptome Changes in the Mice Lumbar Spinal Cord After the 30-Day Spaceflight and Subsequent 7-Day Readaptation on Earth: New Insights Into Molecular Mechanisms of the Hypogravity Motor Syndrome

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The hypogravity motor syndrome (HMS) is one of the deleterious impacts of weightlessness on the human body in orbital space missions. There is a hypothesis that disorders of musculoskeletal system as part of HMS arise in consequence of changes in spinal ...

Skipping vs. running as the bipedal gait of choice in hypogravity

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2015
Hypogravity challenges bipedal locomotion in its common forms. However, as previously theoretically and empirically suggested, humans can rely on “skipping,” a less common gait available as a functional analog (perhaps a vestigium) of quadrupedal gallop,
