Bert, Paul

born Oct. 17, 1833, Auxerre, Yonne, France
died Nov. 11, 1886, Hanoi

French physiologist, founder of modern aerospace medicine.

He taught for many years at the Sorbonne and served as a deputy in the government from 1872–86. His research on the effects of air pressure on the body helped make possible the exploration of space and the ocean depths. Bert found the main cause of altitude sickness to be low atmospheric oxygen content and showed decompression sickness to be due to nitrogen bubbles formed in the blood during rapid drops in external pressure.

▪ French physiologist and politician
born Oct. 17, 1833, Auxerre, Yonne, Fr.
died Nov. 11, 1886, Hanoi
 French physiologist, politician, and diplomat, founder of modern aerospace medicine, whose research into the effects of air pressure on the body helped make possible the exploration of space and the ocean depths. While professor of physiology at the Sorbonne (1869–86), he found that the illness suffered by animals at high altitudes is caused mainly by the low oxygen content of the sparse atmosphere.

      Bert also made a study of decompression sickness, suffered by deep-sea divers (who know its agonizing pain as “the bends”) when they are brought too quickly to the surface from the great pressures of the depths. Bert demonstrated that high external pressures force large quantities of atmospheric nitrogen to dissolve in the blood. During rapid decompression the nitrogen forms gas bubbles that obstruct capillaries. His classic La Pression barométrique, recherches de physiologie expérimentale (1878; Barometric Pressure: Researches in Experimental Physiology, 1943) was of fundamental importance to aviation medicine during World War II and to aerospace research in general.

      An anticlerical leftist, Bert represented Yonne in the Chamber of Deputies (1872–86) and served as minister of education (1881–82) in Léon Gambetta's Cabinet. He was a proponent of French colonial policy in Indochina and was appointed governor general in Annam and Tonkin (1886). Despite his short tenure, his impact in Indochina was considerable. He took steps to liberalize French rule in the region, increasing the administrative role of the Vietnamese court and lessening the influence of the military in civil affairs. His various political and social reforms eased tensions in the area and served as a model for later French administrators.
