Very long (> 48 hours) shifts and cardiovascular strain in firefighters: a theoretical framework

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Very Long (> and colleagues from the We recently recruited a group of firefighters (N=7) in Southern California for a feasibility study of measuring several cardiovascular strain biomarkers (heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, saliva cortisol, and saliva CRP) while they were doing , consecutive, hr shiftsWe used recent, technologically-advanced, non-invasive instruments (a Polar , heart rate monitor, an Omron , wrist blood pressure monitor, and Salimetric salivary cortisol and CRP test kits) for the data collection of the biomarkers and a short diary for the data collection of self-reported fatigue and distress. The data . . .
