Abstract Luks, Andrew M., Erik R. Swenson. Clinician's corner: pulse oximetry at high
altitude. High Alt. Med. Biol. 12: 109–119, 2011.—Pulse oximetry is a valuable, noninvasive …

The retina has a uniquely high metabolic demand for oxygen that is normally met by a highly
efficient vascular supply. Oxygen plays an essential role in oxidative phosphorylation as an …

Rationale: Quantitative data on ventilation during acclimatization at very high altitude are
scant. Therefore, we monitored nocturnal ventilation and oxygen saturation in mountaineers …

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to
climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and …

In patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease, chronic hypoxaemia leads to important
changes in blood vessel function and structure. Some of these alterations are maladaptive …

Key points Vascular reactivity, the response of the vessels to a vasoactive stimulus such as
hypoxia and hyperoxia, can be used to assess the vascular range of adjustment in which the …
