[Mechanisms and detection of G-induced loss of consciousness].

High sustained +Gz acceleration induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) is the main factor that causes flying accident. This paper reviewed the mechanisms and its physiological detection. During slow onset rate (SOR) acceleration, cerebral ischemia/hypoxia are the mechanisms of G-LOC, during rapid onset rate (ROR) acceleration, G-LOC might be related to mechanical intracranial hypertension, but the direct experimental data were lacking. Arterial blood pressure of eye level and cerebral oxygen saturation are important among the physiological indices of G-LOC detection.
