  2. 1. Severe hypoxemia during apnea in humans : influence of cardiovascular responses

    Author : Peter Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diving response; breath holding; bradycardia; vasoconstriction; hypoxia;

    Abstract : When a diving human holds his or her breath, the heart beat slows and the blood vessels constrict in large portions of the body. In diving mammals such as seals, similar responses effectively conserve oxygen for the brain, enabling them to dive very deep and to stay underwater for a long time. READ MORE
