  2. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    At very high altitude, from 3,500 to 5,500 metres (11,500 to 18,000 ft) arterial oxygen saturation falls below 90% and arterial P O 2 is reduced to the extent that extreme hypoxemia may occur during exercise and sleep, and if high altitude pulmonary edema occurs. In this range severe altitude illness is common. [2]

  3. Effects of high altitude on humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude...

    The effects of high altitude on humans are mostly the consequences of reduced partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere. The medical problems that are direct consequence of high altitude are caused by the low inspired partial pressure of oxygen, which is caused by the reduced atmospheric pressure, and the constant gas fraction of oxygen in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM-1

    GM-1 (Göring Mischung 1) was a system for injecting nitrous oxide into aircraft engines that was used by the Luftwaffe in World War II.This increased the amount of oxygen in the fuel mixture, and thereby improved high-altitude performance.

    Hypobaric chamber at the Biopol'H, in Catalonia (), used with patients and athletes who need treatment or training with reduced atmospheric pressure. A hypobaric chamber, or altitude chamber, is a chamber used during aerospace or high terrestrial altitude research or training to simulate the effects of high altitude on the human body, especially hypoxia (low oxygen) and hypobaria (low ambient ...

    Much against my better judgement, I am already dreaming of another adventure at altitude. And you might wish to do the same. The concept of a long walk uphill came to me late.

  7. High-altitude adaptation in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_adaptation...

    Himalayas, on the southern rim of the Tibetan Plateau. Humans are generally adapted to lowland environments where oxygen is abundant. [12] At altitudes above 2,500 meters (8,200 ft), such humans experience altitude sickness, which is a type of hypoxia, a clinical syndrome of severe lack of oxygen.
