[Changes of arterial blood pressure during various stages in spaceflight activities].
Arterial blood pressure (BP) is one of the four life signs in human beings, it could reflect cardiovascular function in some degrees. Thus, BP serves as an important cardiovascular parameter during various stages in foreign spaceflight activities. Although the reports about BP are not always in consistency during spaceflight, hypotension commonly occurs during orthostatic stress after spaceflight. The mechanisms of orthostatic intolerance after spaceflight are virtually the same as that of orthostatic hypotension after spaceflight. This paper simply reviewed the reports on BP during various stages in foreign spaceflight activities and the researches on the mechanism of orthostatic hypotension after spaceflight.
