Estimating the effect of microgravity/hypogravity on pulmonary ventilation function remains topical. Recently developed acoustic techniques based on the evaluation of the forced expiratory noise time (FETa) were hypothesized to be a promising tool for this aim.

description Estimating the effect of microgravity/hypogravity on pulmonary ventilation function remains topical. Recently developed acoustic techniques based on the evaluation of the forced expiratory noise time (FETa) were hypothesized to be a promising tool for this aim. The aim of the protocol is to study the effect of two different modalities of bed rest space simulations (microgravity and lunar gravity) on FETa and spirometric indices. The FETa in the frequency band of 200–2000 Hz, recorded above human trachea, was evaluated. The 21st-day exposure to 6 degree head-down tilt (HDT) bed rest, simulating microgravity, and 9.6 degree head-up tilt (HUT) bed rest with head-zero tilt (HZT) rest intervals (HUT + HZT), simulating lunar gravity, in statistically identical subgroups of five and six healthy male volunteers, was studied. In the course of HDT bed rest, a significant elongation of FETa was found in relation to background measurements in “sitting” position (p = 0.016). The effect corresponded to a significant decrease of basic spirometric indices (p < 0.02). Moreover, FETa provided reliable discrimination of HDT and HUT + HZT bed rest tests (p = 0.018), while spirometric indices did not (p > 0.05). Based on previously found correlations (Korenbaum and Pochekutova, 2008; Malaeva et al., 2017), a FETa elongation in response to HDT bed rest was attributed to an increase of aerodynamic resistance of the respiratory tract. The technique seems promising to monitor human pulmonary ventilation dynamics in long-term space missions; however, new studies are welcome to verify it in real spaceflight.
