Relationship Between Arterial Oxygen Saturation and Hematocrit, and Effect of Slow Deep Breathing on Oxygen Saturation in Himalayan High Altitude Populations
lIn the cross-sectional study of two populations residing at altitude of 2800 m and 3760 m are compared for the difference in hematocrit. The oxygen carrying capacity of arterial haemoglobin (SaO2) is determined by pulse oximetry. The sample is drawn from the natives of two small villages, Thini at Jomsom (2800 m) and Jharkot (3760 m) in Mustang district of Nepal. The natives at 2800 m are term...
متن کاملRelationship between arterial oxygen saturation and hematocrit, and effect of slow deep breathing on oxygen saturation in Himalayan high altitude populations.
BACKGROUND The oxygen saturation of haemoglobin is reduced in high altitude-living organisms. Increase in the hematocrit is responsible for rise in the hemoglobin concentration so that the oxygen carrying capacity in the hypobaric hypoxic subject is elevated. OBJECTIVES To compare two different high altitude populations, in order to study the relationship between arterial oxygen saturation an...
متن کاملEffects of Slow Deep Breathing at High Altitude on Oxygen Saturation, Pulmonary and Systemic Hemodynamics
Slow deep breathing improves blood oxygenation (Sp(O2)) and affects hemodynamics in hypoxic patients. We investigated the ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of slow deep breathing in normal subjects at high altitude. We collected data in healthy lowlanders staying either at 4559 m for 2-3 days (Study A; N = 39) or at 5400 m for 12-16 days (Study B; N = 28). Study variables, including Sp(O2) an...
متن کاملThe Effect of Controlled Breathing Exercises on Anxiety and Arterial Oxygen Saturation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Introduction: Anxiety is one of the common symptoms and complications in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that increases readmission and decreases the quality of life in these patients. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of controlled breathing exercises on Anxiety and Arterial Oxygen Saturation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the intensive care u...
متن کاملOxygen saturation in high-altitude pulmonary edema.
High altitude, defined as elevations greater than or equal to 8000 feet (2438 m) above sea level, is responsible for a variety of medical problems both chronic and acute. The spectrum of altitude illness ranges from the common, mild symptoms of acute mountain sickness, such as insomnia, headache, and nausea, to severe and potentially fatal conditions, such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE...
