Respiratory, circulatory, and ECG changes during acute exposure to high altitude. 1976

P Laciga, and E A Koller

Quantitative electrocardiographic and accessory circulatory and respiratory mass spectrographic and accessory circulatory and respiratory mass spectrographic studies were carried out on 30 young, healthy subjects at rest during moderately acute, standardized stepwise exposure to simulated altitude up to 7,000 m (PAO2 26.9 mmHg). The ECG (Einthoven and Wilson leads) and the respiratory gases were recorded synchronously during ascent and descent. The extensive data assembled, summarized in six tables and illustrated in seven graphs, represent the basis for future investigations on the single factors which underlie hypoxia-induced ECG changes during exposure to high altitude.

D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D004780 Environment, Controlled A state in which the environs of hospitals, laboratories, domestic and animal housing, work places, spacecraft, and other surroundings are under technological control with regard to air conditioning, heating, lighting, humidity, ventilation, and other ambient features. The concept includes control of atmospheric composition.
