altitude: physiology and pathophysiology. High Alt. Med. Biol. 7: 125–137, 2006.—Highland …

The hypoxia of high altitude stimulates ventilation. If the resultant respiratory alkalosis
inhibits the initial increase in ventilation, then with prevention of alkalosis, ventilation should …

The effects of hypobaric hypoxia in visitors depend not only on the actual elevation but also
on the rate of ascent. There are increases in sympathetic activity resulting in increases in …

High-altitude (HA) environments have adverse effects on the normal functioning body of
people accustomed to living at low altitudes because of the change in barometric pressure …

To further explore the blunted hypoxic drive to ventilation seen in the high altitude natives,
the steady-state ventilatory response to inhaled CO (in2) at three to four levels of P a O 2 …

We provide an updated review on the current understanding of breathing and sleep at high
altitude in humans. We conclude that:(1) progressive changes in pH initiated by the …

The ventilatory response to hypoxia is complex. First contact with hypoxia causes an
increase in ventilation within seconds that reaches full intensity within minutes because of …

In order to elucidate the mechanism of ventilatory acclimatization to high altitude, the time
course of the change in several ventilatory parameters was measured in 3 adult sea level …

Fifteen high-altitude natives resident at 4540 m breathed gas mixtures containing 11.8, 16,
20.93, 60 and 100 per cent O 2. After a shift to a given gas mixture, ventilation was …

Abstract studies of the high-altitude natives in the South American Andes focused attention
for the first time on aspects of respiratory adaptation that were different from those of …
