Is wearing a g-suit for Orthostatic Intolerance (OI) common knowledge?
While there has been a lot of research that shows the successful use of a g-suit for Orthostatic Intolerance (OI), not many people (doctors and patients) know about it. I hope this website will provide the information needed to lead to greater use of g-suits. I would like to give other people the opportunity to have the improved quality of life that I have experienced. I would not have wanted to miss out on all of the fun things I have gotten to do these last few years. “The effective use of an air force anti-G suit in patients with postural hypotension has previously been described. A comparison between an air-filled suit (an experimental anti-G suit) and an elastic form of garment providing counterpressure showed that the air-filled suit was more effective in treating postural hypotension. As Burton has pointed out, the anti-G suit is not routinely used clinically to raise blood pressure, and it requires someone to suggest the role.
