Abstract

   This report discusses the possible causes of the decreased arterial oxygen saturation seen  
   when a subject is accelerated in a centrifuge by measuring simultaneously the pulmonary  
   diffusing capacity, and the pulmonary capillary blood flow, using breathholding techniques  
   with carbon monoxide and acetylene. After one minute of forward acceleration at eight times  
   normal gravity, 8G, average capillary diffusing capacity decreased 35% from an initial  
   control of 33.7 to 21.5 m1/min x mm Hg in four subjects
