Background: Both hypoxia and hypocapnia can cause broncho-constriction in humans, and this could have a bearing on performance at high altitude. The objective of this study was to examine how pulmonary ventilatory function during high-altitude trekking.Methods: This study was a before and after study on spirometric parameters at Base line (1150 m above sea level), and after ascending at 4150 m ...
متن کاملCardio Respiratory Adjustments to High Altitude
Thousands of Indian lowlanders live and work at altitudes up to 6,400m in the western Himalayas for durations up to two years, and are exposed to hypobaric hypoxia and intense cold. Here, certain unique physiological changes occur in these individuals and they could also be afflicted with the well-known maladies of high altitude, i.e. acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema...
متن کاملThe physiology of high altitude: an introduction to the cardio-respiratory changes occuring on ascent to altitude
Both the high altitude physiologist and the intensivist are challenged by the human organism in a hypoxic environment. The variation in barometric pressure which occurs with latitude influences enormously the inspired oxygen concentration at extreme altitudes and can significantly effect performance. The cardiorespiratory changes which take place at high altitude, and in particular the putative...
متن کاملNo evidence for interstitial lung oedema by extensive pulmonary function testing at 4,559 m.
The aim of the present study was to better understand previously reported changes in lung function at high altitude. Comprehensive pulmonary function testing utilising body plethysmography and assessment of changes in closing volume were carried out at sea level and repeatedly over 2 days at high altitude (4,559 m) in 34 mountaineers. In subjects without high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE), t...
متن کاملEffects of sudden exposure to high altitude on pulmonary functions.
To assess the changes in pulmonary functions in terms of respiratory frequency (f), tidal volume (VT), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume for first second (FEV1, maximum ventilatory volume (MVV) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), on sudden exposure to high altitude, 16 healthy normal, non-smokers, lowland subjects (11 medical cadets mean age 20.18±1.44 yr and 5 jawans mean...
متن کاملAirway responses to methacholine and exercise at high altitude in healthy lowlanders.
Peribronchial edema has been proposed as a mechanism enhancing airway responses to constrictor stimuli. Acute exposure to altitude in nonacclimatized lowlanders leads to subclinical interstitial pulmonary edema that lasts for several days after ascent, as suggested by changes in lung mechanics. We, therefore, investigated whether changes in lung mechanics consistent with fluid accumulation at h...
