Article Synopsis
  • Hypoxia refers to a decrease in oxygen availability, and individual responses to it can vary widely among people.
  • This study aimed to explore how susceptibility to hypoxia correlates with ventilatory responses (HVR and HCVR) and how these factors change after a period of cold acclimation.
  • Results showed that after cold exposure, individuals exhibited improved ventilatory responses and a decrease in susceptibility to hypoxia, though individual variations persisted across different susceptibility groups.

The associations between creativity characteristics and tolerance of young healthy subjects to experimentally induced normobaric hypoxia were studied. Inhalation of a gas mix with the lowered content of oxygen (10% O2) proceeded during time necessary for arterial hemoglobin saturation (SaO2) decrease to 80%. In the restoration period subjects breathed usual air during time necessary for SaO2 restoration to reference values.

The paper presents experimental data supporting a hypothesis that the changes of arterial blood haemoglobin saturation during breathing the hypoxic gas mixture (10-13% O2) can be fitted by exponential function. The formal description of the saturation curves allowed verifying their stages and evaluating interindividual variability. It is suggested that the parameters of exponents can be used when estimating an individual hypoxic resistance of a human organism.

Respiratory and circulatory changes in response to various physiological stimuli (hypoxia, cold, etc.) were studied. The respiratory center was found to play the leading role in the developing a response.
