This book provides a unique, authoritative and detailed examination
of the physiological and clinical consequences of human exposure to
high G forces. Pilots of military fast jets, civilian aerobatic
pilots and astronauts during the launch and re-entry phases of
spaceflight are frequently and repetitively exposed to high G
forces, for which the human body is not fundamentally designed. The
book examines not only the nature of the high G environment, but
the physiological effects of exposure to high G on the various
systems of the human body. In particular, the susceptibility of the
human cardiovascular system to high G is considered in detail,
since G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (G-LOC) is a serious hazard
for high G pilots. Additionally, the factors that influence
tolerance to G and the emerging scientific evidence of
physiological adaptation to high G are examined, as are the various
countermeasures and techniques that have been developed over the
years to protect pilots from the potentially adverse consequences
of high G flight, such as the G-suit and positive pressure
breathing. The accumulated knowledge of human exposure to high G is
drawn together within High G Flight, resulting in a definitive
volume on the physiological effects of high G and their
countermeasures.
