Prevalence of oxygen desaturation and use of oxygen at home in adults at sea level and at moderate altitude.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of oxygen desaturation in adults aged>or=40 yrs as altitude above sea level increases. A population-based, cross-sectional study with a multistage cluster sampling of 1,063 subjects from metropolitan Mexico City (Mexico; 2,240 m above sea level), 1,357 from Caracas (Venezuela; 950 m) and 943 from Montevideo (Uruguay; 35 m). The mean of six m...
متن کاملA Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude
At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...
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 کاملOxygen saturation in children living at moderate altitude.
BACKGROUND Physicians caring for newborns and infants residing at or traveling to moderate altitude have little information available about the normal range for arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) measured by pulse oximetry. To aid clinicians in making rational decisions about the oxygen status of children at moderate altitude, we measured SaO2 in newborns and infants who came to two family pract...
