Abstract

Hypobaric physiology is linked to the study of physiological changes that happen because of the reduced atmospheric pressure particularly at high altitude. Hypoxia is related to a condition where there is an lack of supply of oxygen to body tissues as well as cells. Different types of hypoxia play a major role especially at high altitudes. Different types of hypoxia are hypoxic hypoxia, hypemic hypoxia, stagnant hypoxia and histological hypoxia. Symptoms of hypoxia include shortness of breath, headache, nausea, fatigue, impaired judgement as well coordination and cyanosis. Acclimatization is linked to the high altitude conditions. High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is linked to the accumulation of fluid in the lungs especially at hi�
