We tested the effect of 100% oxygen on heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (ABP), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), total peripheral resistance (TPR), HR variability (HRV), systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in 20 healthy volunteers during simulated haemorrhage induced by −40 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP). HRV in the high frequency region (HRVHF), BRS, ABP and TPR were significantly increased, SBPV in the low frequency region (SBPVLF), CO and SV were unchanged, and HR was significantly decreased by 100% oxygen administration during normovolaemia. HRVHF, BRS, CO and SV were significantly decreased, SBPVLF and ABP were unchanged, and HR and TPR were significantly increased by LBNP during 21% or 100% oxygen administration. There were no significant differences in cardiovascular autonomic and haemodynamic responses to LBNP during 21% or 100% oxygen administration, suggesting that 100% oxygen does not alter normal cardiovascular autonomic responses during simulated haemorrhage.
