Lung function and breathing pattern in subjects developing high altitude pulmonary edema

The purpose of the study was to comprehensively evaluate physiologic changes associated with development of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). We tested whether changes in pulmonary function and breathing pattern would herald clinically overt HAPE at an early stage. In 18 mountaineers, spirometry...
