CAUSAL ANALYSIS OF CARDIORESPIRATORY COUPLING ON THE ISS
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-25
Summary
CAUSAL ANALYSIS OF CARDIORESPIRATORY COUPLING ON THE ISS
Astronauts face many challenges (space walks) due to the harsh space environment. Proper functioning of heart, lungs, and circulation is required to support these activities, but physical activity becomes more difficult with longer missions. Weightlessness weakens bones, muscles, heart, and blood circulation. Therefore, the ability to monitor vital life signs is important to see if any changes could be life threatening. This study will investigate our new analysis techniques to detect negative effects on the interaction of the heart, lungs and circulation through real-time monitoring with the Bio-M. We will observe astronauts as they exercise before, during and after spaceflight.

Description (French)
ANALYSE CAUSALE DU COUPLAGE CARDIORESPIRATOIRE SUR LA SSI
Les astronautes font face à de nombreux défis (sorties dans l'espace) causés par l'environnement rude de l'espace. Le bon fonctionnement du coeur, des poumons et de la circulation sanguine est essentiel pour soutenir ces activités, mais l'activité physique devient plus difficile avec des missions de plus longue durée. La microgravité affaiblit les os, les muscles, le coeur et la circulation sanguine. Par conséquent, il devient important de pouvoir surveiller les signes vitaux afin de déceler tout changement qui pourrait mettre la vie en péril. Cette étude investiguera nos nouvelles techniques d'analyse pour déceler les effets négatifs relatifs à l'interaction du coeur, des poumons et de la circulation sanguine à travers la surveillance en temps réel avec le Bio-Moniteur. Nous observerons les astronautes pendant l'entraînement, et ce avant, pendant et après leur mission dans l'espace. *Traduction
