An oxygen enrichment device for lowlanders ascending to high altitude
BACKGROUND When ascending to the high altitude, people living in low altitude areas will suffer from acute mountain sickness. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that whether an oxygen concentration membrane can be made and used to construct a new portable oxygen enrichment device for individuals in acute exposure to the high altitude. METHODS The membrane was fabricated using vin...
متن کاملNitric oxide and cerebral blood flow responses to hyperbaric oxygen.
We have tested the hypothesis that cerebral nitric oxide (NO) production is involved in hyperbaric O(2) (HBO(2)) neurotoxicity. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and electroencephalogram (EEG) were measured in anesthetized rats during O(2) exposure to 1, 3, 4, and 5 ATA with or without administration of the NO synthase inhibitor (N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), L-arginine, NO donors,...
متن کاملEffects of race and sex on cerebral hemodynamics, oxygen delivery and blood flow distribution in response to high altitude
To assess racial, sexual, and regional differences in cerebral hemodynamic response to high altitude (HA, 3658 m). We performed cross-sectional comparisons on total cerebral blood flow (TCBF = sum of bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arterial blood flows = QICA + QVA), total cerebrovascular resistance (TCVR), total cerebral oxygen delivery (TCOD) and QVA/TCBF (%), among six groups of you...
متن کاملABC of oxygen: oxygen at high altitude.
The number of people travelling to the high altitude regions, especially South America, Nepal, and India, has risen enormously in the past 10 years. Without special climbing ability these trekkers can be exposed to altitudes they will not have encountered in their home countries. For example, the height of Everest base camp is 5500 m whereas the top of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in the A...
متن کاملMigrainous cerebral infarction: a tomographic study of cerebral blood flow and oxygen extraction fraction with the oxygen-15 inhalation technique.
A patient with migraine who had a permanent visual field defect was studied by angiography and CT scan. He also had a tomographic study of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen extraction fraction (EO2) using the non-invasive continuous oxygen-15 (15O) inhalation technique. Angiography was normal. CT scan revealed an area of decreased density with contrast enhancement suggestive of a recent infa...
