Consideraciones sobre la hipoxia y la altitud

Considerations on hypoxia and altitude

Consideraciones sobre la hipoxia y la altitud

Abstract

Resumen La hipoxia asociada a la altitud se conoce como hipoxia hipobárica y está relacionada con la disminución de la presión barométrica y la presión inspirada de oxígeno; conforme estos disminuyen, la hipoxia incrementa. Los habitantes de lugares con gran altitud se aclimatan-adaptan con cambios morfológicos, fisiológicos y genéticos por generaciones. Hay grandes diferencias entre la gran altitud, la altitud moderada y el nivel del mar. Las características de los habitantes de lugares con altitud moderada se han considerado similares a las de aquellos que viven al nivel del mar. Sin embargo, la hipoxia hipobárica está presente y la oxigenación es menor que al nivel del mar, además de que todavía se desconoce qué otros cambios puede haber por efecto de la hipoxia hipobárica en esta altitud.

Hypoxia associated with altitude is known as hypobaric hypoxia and it is related to the decrease in barometric pressure and inspired oxygen pressure; as they decrease, hypoxia increases. High altitude inhabitants acclimatise-adapt with morphological, physiological and genetic changes over generations. There are major differences between high altitude, moderate altitude and sea level. The characteristics of inhabitants of places with moderate altitude have been considered similar to those who live at sea level. However, hypobaric hypoxia is present and oxygenation is lower than at sea level, and it is still unknown what other changes may be caused by hypobaric hypoxia at this altitude.
