A Flight Evaluation of an Airborne Physiological Instrumentation System: Including Preliminary Results Under Conditions of Varying AccelerationsA physiological instrumentation system capable of recording the electrocardiogram, pulse rate, respiration rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures during flight has been developed. This instrumentation system was designed for use during control studies at varied levels of acceleration in order to monitor the well-being of the pilot and at the same time to obtain data for study of the relationships between his various physiological functions and his performance capacity. |
