A prototype electromechanical analogue of the sympathetic division of the baroreceptor reflex arc was used to maintain blood pressure automatically in two patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. The device prevented significant and sustained reductions in mean blood pressure when the patients were tilted up to 85 degrees. Upon achieving the preset mean blood pressure, the device maintained this pressure with a standard error of less than 2 mm Hg. Similar results were obtained when the patients were walking. The device did not cause supine hypertension during the trials.
使用压力感受器反射弧交感神经部分的机电模拟原型，对两名神经源性直立性低血压患者进行血压自动维持。当患者倾斜至85度时，该装置可防止平均血压出现显著且持续的下降。达到预设平均血压后，该装置维持此血压，标准误差小于2毫米汞柱。患者行走时也获得了类似结果。试验期间该装置未引起仰卧位高血压。
