3 Barometric Pressure and PIO2 at increasing altitude
4 Ventilation Heart rate Pulmonary pressure The compensatory responses of the human body as well as the development of acute mountain sickness are related to the level of hypoxemia. The human response to hypoxia is characterised by systemic changes in respiratory, cardiovascular and haematopoietic physiologythat combine to restore adequate oxygenation.

7 The Lung at Altitude The lung is the interface between the environment and the metabolic function of the body and plays a pivotal role in the acclimatization process. However, it may also be involved in maladaptive responses. I am nothing more than a single, narrow, gasping lung, floating over the mists and summits (R.Messner)

9 Altitude Classification m Near Sea Level No altitude-related effects on well-being or athletic performance m Low Altitude No altitude-related effects on well-being but relevant impairment of performance possible, particularly in highly trained athletes > 1500m. This can be overcome completely by acclimatization m Moderate Altitude Effects of altitude on well-being in nonacclimatized subjects with minor sleep disturbances or symptoms of AMS may occur after 9 hours of exposure. Discomfort is transient during the first days. Maximum aerobic performance significantly but can be restored largely by acclimatization. Significant erythropoietic response occurs within 3 4 weeks. (Bartsch & Saltin Scand J Med Sci Sport 2008)
10 High Altitude AMS occurs in a large number of non-acclimatized individuals during the first days of exposure. Susceptible individuals may develop HAPE > 3000ma.s.l. and HACE>4000ma.s.l. Staged ascent is recommended to avoid these illnesses. The altitude will significantly reduce athletic performance even after full acclimatization. > 5500mExtreme Altitude 5500 m a.s.l. appears to be the ceiling for longterm adaptation in humans, as the highest permanent settlements are at this altitude
11 Acute Mountain Sickness Too High Too Fast When people who live near sea level go to altitudes > m many develop symptoms of acute mountain sickness. Mild Severe Headache, fatigue, lightheadedness, loss of appetite, insomnia, and sometimes dizziness, palpitations, nausea Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) Cerebral Edema (HACE)
12 The first reference to mountain sickness is in a classical Chinese history of the period preceding the Han dynasty (about 30 B.C.E)..on passing the Great Headache Mountain, the Little Headache Mountain, The Red Pass and the Fever Slope, men s bodies become feverish, they lose colour and area attacked with headache and vomiting: the cattle being in like condition
13 The most celebrated early account of acute mountain sickness was by Father Jose de Acosta who traveled from Spain to Peru as a Jesuit missionary in about 1570.
14
15 Following Acosta s account, there were many anedoctal reports of disagreeable sensations in travelers to HA. An excellent compendiums is Paul Berts book where the first chapter chronicles various mountain ascents all over the world and corresponding reports of mountain sickness

36 Desaturations Pomidori L. et al HAM&B 2009
37 During standardized exercise, the oxygen desaturation decreased 3500m 4200m 5050m 10.6% 13.4% 11.3% At 4200 and 5050 m, the percentage of decrease was significantly higher than at 3500m ( p<0.03). Pomidori L. et al HAM&B 2009
38 CONCLUSION At each altitude the mean value measured during 24-hour monitoring is always significantly lower than the value measured during the 3 minutes observation. The time spent with oxygen saturation 90% increases with altitude. A significantly lower saturation is found during the night at each altitude and the difference between day and night values is always significant. At 4200m and 5050m the % oxygen desaturation during exercise is significantly higher than at 3500.
39 3. Ventilation, Ventilatory Pattern, Thoraco-Abdominal Coordination A deeper and slower ventilation (yoga derived breathing) is more efficient in terms of gas exchange and has been reported to improve resting gas exchange in heart failure patients (Bernardi L, 1998) to improve gas exchange and thoraco-abdominal coordination in COPD (Pomidori L, 2009) to maintain a satisfactory oxygenation during hypoxic exposure (Bernardi L, 2001, 2007)

44 We analysed VE, ventilatory pattern (VT, BR, VE/VT), thoraco-abdominal coordination (phase angle [PhA]),and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in Skyrunners during a race simulation. 14 Skyrunners (12M; age 34-60) run from 2030m to 2804m wearing an inductive pletismography system (Lifeshirt) equipped with a pulse-oximeter and GPS (Garmin). Subjects run 6.2km, mean speed 1.6m/s.
45 r0.3 Slope% The relationship between the slope (S) and PhAis represented by a quadratic curve. As S increases >30% an increase in PhAis observed, index of thoraco-abdominal coordination (p<0.01). The decrease in PhA is significantly related to a decrease in SpO2. p < 0.01
46 For slopes >20% the increas in PhAng is significantly related to an increase in VE/VT (r 0.406*) R0.697 An increase in VE/VT is significantly correlated to a decrease in SpO2 (r -0.69*).
47 The lower SpO2 is associated to a lower race speed (r 0.33*), more evident when the slope is > 20%. *p<0.01
48 Conclusion During mountain race the slope of the ground negatively influences the thoraco-abdominal coordination, mostly when slope is >30%. The increase in slope is also related to a decrease in SpO2 through a change in ventilatorypattern toward a less efficient breath. Thesefactorsnegativelyinfluencethe speedof the performance. QUESTION? Is it possible to train the ventilatory pattern?
49 Indoor Pollution and Health
50 SHARE-EVK2CNR Project We study a particular sample of population living in the Khumbu Valley in Nepal. In this valley there are no roads, no industries ( = no traffic and industry pollution), very low smoke habit (3%) ( = no counfounding factors) but the population uses biomass fuels for home heating and cooking and many houses have no chimney ( = very high indoor pollution).
