Effects of slow deep breathing at high altitude on oxygen saturation, pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics.

Effects of slow deep breathing at high altitude on oxygen saturation, pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics.

Slow deep breathing improves blood oxygenation (Sp(O2)) and affects hemodynamics in hypoxic patients. We investigated the ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of slow deep breathing in normal subjects at high altitude. We collected data in healthy lowlanders staying either at 4559 m for 2-3 days (Stu...
