| Abstract | The physiology and pathophysiology of voluntary apnea is an important issue not only for recreational and professional apnea diving, rescue and military diver, but also for the genesis of the involuntary sleep apnea. Numerous physiological mechanisms are involved to counteract the induced unbalance in the body's homeostasis. Even though cardiovascular effects are qualitatively similar in humans (such as diving reflex) the extent and temporal course can strongly vary from person to person. The present work discloses for the first time the behaviour of vital cardiovascular and gas parameters (in blood and air) as a novel function of the apnea duration. Blood pressure and heart rate increased for increasing apnea durations while pulsatile amplitude of the pulse wave in the finger and in the ear decreased. It is shown that carbon dioxide production per minute was quite stable independently of the voluntary apnea duration, whereas oxygen consumption per minute increased with increasing duration. The estimated respiratory quotient declined for longer apneas since the produced carbon dioxide in the lungs tended to increase slower than the consumed oxygen in the lungs. The oxygen saturation in blood exhibited a non-linear behaviour over the apnea duration, whereas the estimated partial pressure of oxygen decreased almost linearly over the duration. In addition, the reproducibility of cardiovascular parameters for apneas of different durations was quantified, given standardized conditions before apnea. Reproducibility, i.e. variation of a signal, for heart rate, systolic blood pressure and oxygen saturation was 10.6%, 8% and 1.4%, respectively, attained over different days of apnea recording. Higher variability in the heart rate and the blood pressure indicates their relevance as a regulatory parameter to counteract the physiological imbalance due to apnea. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
