Abstract

In order to evaluate health risks under sever thermal environments, we are developing a new human model that can predict BP and BFR, as well as body temperature. In this study, we developed one of the sub-models for our human model, i.e. autonomic regulation model, which predicts human responses on vasomotor and cardiac activities for thermoregulation and baroreflex. We also conducted some simulations by using the autonomic regulation model combined with our previously developed model of cardiovascular system. The results showed that the simulations reproduced reasonably the actual BP and BFR under four different thermal and postural conditions, i.e. 18°C, 28°C, 40°C-supine and 28°C-standing. Only in the 18°C-supine case, there was a substantial problem on the BP simulation, however, it will be solved by the incorporation of more precise vasomotor activity.
