Altitude and hypoxia - Coggle Diagram
Altitude and hypoxia
Adaptations required to optimize oxygen transport :
Ventilation
Gas exchange
Cardiac response
Hematologic response
Peripheral tissues
Nervous system
Five levels on altitude :
Near sea level (0 - 500m)
Low altitude (500 - 2000m)
Moderate altitude (2000 - 3000m)
High altitude (3000 - 5500m)
Extrem altitude (5500 - more)
Pressure units
Pascal = 1 Pa
Bar = 1 bar
Torr = millimeter of mercury
Inhaled air mixture
11% oxygen
88% nitrogen
The atmosphere : 78% O2, 21% of N2 and 1% rare gas
Normobaric hypoxia decrease in inspired fraction of oxygen
Waterfall of oxygen for cycles of oxygen in the body
VE = Vt x FR
