One of the factor that can cause hypoxic hypoxia is flying an airplane that isn't pressurized appropriately. An air ship should be pressurized appropriately before it goes for flight. Pressurization arrangement of an air ship is critical as it will give the teams and travelers with adequate measure of oxygen as the flying machine move to a higher height. The flying machine's pressurization framework have manual pressurization and auto pressurization. At the point when the airplane is changed to a manual pressurization framework, the pilot needs to alter the pressurization framework each time the air ship ascensions to a higher elevation. This should be done keeping in mind the end goal to keep up an adequate measure of oxygen for the flight team and travelers as the flying machine ascensions to a higher height. Then again, if the flying machine's pressurization framework is changed to auto, the framework will modify itself with the height of the air ship. The …show more content…
With the tallness of 29,030 feet, Mount Everest is the most astounding mountain on the planet and the most noteworthy ground on the planet. Be that as it may, there are many assortments of climbers at Mount Everest which were typically found over 26,000 feet and this is known as the passing zone of Mount Everest. As per the climbers, when they passed the 26,000 feet, it is practically difficult to inhale without the assistance of any hardware. This is on the grounds that the elevation is so high for an ordinary person to inhale typically as the air weight gets more slender and the measure of oxygen gets lower. As the climbers move over 26,000 feet they will begin feeling befuddled and would effectively exhausted. This is on the grounds that they will encounter hypoxic hypoxia and will gradually lose awareness. At last, they will bite the dust on account of hypoxia as the body can't adapt to low measure of
Chapter 2: In Chapter 2 the narrator discusses the history of everest and famous expeditions. Everest’s height was calculated in 1852 in India. Sir George Everest the surveyor general at that time used trigonometry to calculate everest height at 8,822 meters (28,943 ft). In this chapter also it talks about famous expeditions like Hillary and Tenzing and Messner and Habeler.
Also, hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygen, is another pathological physiological outcome of sepsis as less oxygen is reaching the tissue; this is due to the fact that there is less oxygen in the blood.
Everest in 1996. This became the deadliest expedition to ever climb with 15 people losing their lives. Krakauer explains his intrinsic motivations to accept this challenge and many of the mistakes that helped lead to the disasters of that day. He includes himself, and explicitly blames himself for at least one person's death. The experience affects him profoundly, and in addition to telling the story, the book focuses on how Krakauer is forever changed as a result of what happened. All of the clients have difficulty adjusting to the altitude, tiring easily, losing weight and moving slowly. The climbers' experience in mountain climbing and at high altitudes varies some of them are quite qualified, others very inexperienced and highly reliant on the
Jews were placed in low-pressure chambers to determine the maximum altitude from which the crews of damaged aircraft could parachute safely. These chambers imitated conditions at altitudes of up to 20,000 meters (about 66,000 feet). In this, scientists found that high-altitude sickness was a result of small air bubbles developing in the blood vessels of the subarachnoid part of the brain.
The oxygen tank in the case description was not equipped with an oxygen level indicator. An indicator is important to inform the operator about the current level of oxygen which will allow the prompt response in changing the oxygen tank if it indicates a low level of oxygen. With the absence of an oxygen level indicator along with the failure of checking the oxygen level in the tank, the personnel were not aware about the low level of oxygen in the tank. Next, we will discuss the problems identified in the case study.

Climbing makes for a difficult expedition, you need to give up the wrappers when you was ascending. You need to give up the heavy things, you need to give up your wrappers, and you need to give yourselves. Sometimes we need to give up our lives to climb the mount Everest. According to snow storm, the energy, the oxygen and the people who desired prove themselves the spring’s 96s expedition to mountain Everest was destined to be the most tragic.
Ever since people knew it was possible to reach the summits of Mount Everest, about 4,000 people have attempted to climb it and one in four people have died from doing so. “Once Everest was determined to be the highest summit on earth, it was only a matter of time before people decided that Everest needed to be climbed” (Krakauer 13). The very first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest was in 1953, and ever since then about seven percent out of every 4,000 people that attempted have died. In the novel, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, he documents his journey to the summit of Mount Everest.
Everest is an unbelievable mountain that has taken the lives of a number of the greatest climbers in history. It was my job to ensure that clients make it up that treacherous mountain safely. My name is Rob Hall. I was the main guide and cofounder of a climbing company called Adventure Consultants. My friend, Gary Ball, and I used to be professional climbers. Together we succeeded in climbing to the highest summit on each of the seven continents in seven months. This was our greatest achievement. After this, we decided to start our own company guiding clients up large mountains. In May 1992, we successfully led six clients to the summit of Everest. Unfortunately, Gary died of cerebral edema in October 1993 during an attempt on the world’s sixth-tallest mountain. He died in my arms and the next day I buried him in a crevasse. Despite the pain that his death had caused me, I continued guiding for our company and eventually led thirty-nine climbers to the summit of Everest.
Alveolar hyperventilation causes a decreased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The decrease in PaCO2 increases the ratio of bicarbonate concentration to PaCO2 which increases the pH level. The decrease in PaCO2 develops when a strong respiratory stimulus causes the respiratory system to remove more carbon dioxide than is produced. Respiratory alkalosis can be acute or chronic. Acute respiratory alkalosis is when the PaCO2 level is below the lower limit of normal and the serum pH is alkalemic. Chronic respiratory alkalosis is when the PaCO2 level is below the lower limit of normal, but the pH level is relatively normal or near normal. Respiratory alkalosis is the most common acid-base abnormality observed in patients who are critically ill. It is associated with numerous illnesses and is a common finding in patients on mechanical ventilation. Many cardiac and pulmonary disorders can occur with respiratory alkalosis. When respiratory alkalosis is present, the cause may be a minor or non–life-threatening disorder. However, more serious disease processes should also be considered in the differential diagnosis (Byrd, 2017). Hyperventilation is most likely the underlying cause of respiratory alkalosis. Hyperventilation is also known as over breathing (O’Connell, 2017).
In an informational article, by Guy Moreau, titled Why Everest?, Moreau writes, “In recent years, this problem has been made worse by the large number of climbers who want to conquer Everest.” The article also says that, “The climbing season only lasts for about two months…Climbers need to leave the final camp by late morning. Then, there can be so many of them in the death zone that there are traffic jams. Some days, up to 200 people set off.” Since there are delays, people have to stay longer, and they “…can suffer exposure and use their precious supplies of oxygen.” Many people end up dying since they all thought they could climb the

A pneumothorax is defined as “the presence of air or gas in the plural cavity which can impair oxygenation and/or ventilation” (Daley, 2014). The development of a pneumothorax to a tension pneumothorax can be caused from positive pressure ventilation.
