Should we Take acetazolamide when we have corona?

But laws of gravity are not for gases that is why gases remain up in air

[@piccionigrassi]

Please note that FiO2 is a constant: what decreases in altitude is the athmospheric pressure. The sum of the pressure of alll the gases of air is the athmospheric pressure. So if the athmospheric pressure decreases also the relative pressure of oxygen decreases, BUT FiO2 is always constant (around 20,93%).

[@abhishekkushwaha9577]

The comment I was looking for…😹

[@samerdahhan]

Yep true

[@Baldwinthefourth-1176]

To clarify - at high altitude you are breathing in 20.93% of O2 - no matter the altitude rather. So, what is actually decreasing is the pressure of this FiO2?

I was falling asleep while studying about Mountain Sickness (something we all know sometimes happens even with interesting topics) and ended up finding this video in my effort to stay awake.The only thing I do not understand about it, is WHY it doesn't have the hundreds of thousands of likes more I would expect. Don't hesitate I will share your channel to all my colleagues. Greetings from South America!

I moved to a city that is 4000+ ft above sea level. Over time I have had some of these symptoms including: dizziness, shortness of breath, balance issues and extreme fatigue. I find that the longer I stay at such and altitude, the worse I feel. I feel pressure in my head, heavy body, heavy legs, shallow breathing and extreme anxiety. When I descend to lower altitudes, my ears pop a few times, relieving the pressure in my head. Once the pressure is relieved, I can climb back up to a higher altitude and feel better for a few days before the symptoms return.

[@scott-hr3hd]

Interesting. Too little explanation on acclimatization process. As a mountaineer I know it can take up to a month to fully acclimatize. Many hypoxia/EPO response techniques can be used to build the blood to carry from the lungs. Most hikers will travel above 8000-9000ft and stop once reach first AMS symptom then travel down 500ft and rest. Some dive under water to hold the breath. win Goff was known to climb mt Everest in his shorts and his hypoxia breathing techniques obtained a Nobel prize to cause the same response.

[@ICANTHEARHER2222]

This is so interesting as I’ve finally fully dedicated myself to long distance running, elevated training, and hiking along with following the stories of ultramarathoners like Goggins. He had swimming-induced pulmonary edema from SEALS training, HAPE from his 100+ ultramarathons at high elevations, and pitting edema on his leg caused by never properly taking care of himself or properly nurturing his body through the military, ultra runs, & maybe even his insane weight loss journey.

1. FiO2 changes with altitude? Sure? PAO2 does because of barometric pressure. 2. Does gravity explains the barometric pressure? Its true that distance diminish the force. But the taller column of air above a person in sea level its actually why this happens. Higher you go, shorter that column is... so less pressure.

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

FiO2 does NOT change with altitude. I made a mistake.

[@Blackeagleglef2]

Hey, if Cerebral Blood vessels dilate during hypoxia, how does it cause Cerebral edema?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Dilation of blood vessel increases flow of blood which raises hydrostatic pressure in capillaries. This increases the risk of edema.

[@madelgalve3707]

Oh wow now I get it why I’m sick yesterday after a climb .

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Stay safe! Talk to your doctor if you have any medical questions!

[@reemabdullah9877]

still didnt understand why high altitude causes cerebral edema. Hypoxia in the lung causes shunting, in the brain too?

[@soul832006]

Think about the mechanism of action in edema. Fluid is forced out of blood vessels through interstitial spaces. Increasing hypoxia causes the vessels to vasoconstrict. The squeezing of the blood vessels increases pressure and leads to more fluids squeezing through. EDIT: I left out an important detail. Decreasing oxygen normally results in vasodilation to compensate. But here it cannot occur because there is insufficient oxygen available. Rising CO2 causes acidosis. Acidic environment leads to vasoconstriction. Increased pressure inside the vessels relative to surrounding tissue causes a net flow of fluid into the surrounding tissues such as the intracranial space. Hence HACE occurs. Capillaries are tiny vessels that are deliberately "leaky" to allow capillary filtration of plasma etc. That's important for blood filtration. With that in mind, it is easy to conceptualize how increased pressure from vasoconstriction leads to more fluids being pushed into surrounding tissue. The brain detects the decreased oxygen (specifically the medulla oblongata). It signals the lungs to compensate with hyperventilation. The medulla oblongata also sends out epinephrine and norepinephrine which signals blood vessels to vasoconstrict through adrenergic receptors on the vessel surface smooth muscle. This causes a release of calcium which activate the myosin chains and causes the contraction. Not sure what you meant by shunting. I was curious about the role of RAAS but that doesn't kick in during the initial acute period of AMS? I found some journal articles suggesting individuals can be susceptible to cardiovascular complications arising from incorrect activation of RAAS during acclimitisation.

I’m not sure if amount of oxygen changes with height or the lower partial pressure of oxygen is the case 🧐 Great content! Cheers from Poland!

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Partial pressure

[@mumugugu8033]

@@MedicosisPerfectionalis At 3:30, you mention that FiO2 (F for fraction) decreases with altitude. I thought the FiO2 remains relatively consistent its just that overall pressure decreases therefore the partial pressure of O2 decreases.

where is the cyanosis?

[@Shaheen_Hassan]

I used to live at elevation greater than 2500 m. When I descended to sea level I felt that the air is dense and somewhat uncomfortable but I acclimatized to it after 14 weeks. Why did this happen? I am supposed to feel more comfortable at sea level because there is more oxygen but what happened to me during those 14 weeks was the opposite.

I have RA. I live in western WA. I went on a trip to Spokane in eastern WA. I had much less inflammation in Spokane. Why would that be?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Thanks for the question, I want you to clarify some info: 1) Since you commented on a video about mountain sickness...Is there a difference in altitude between where you lived in Western WA and eastern WA? 2) When you say less inflammation, do you mean less chronic inflammation, less acute flares, less pain, less stiffness, or what? 3) Were you diagnosed with RA by a doctor? Is it confirmed? What serum antibodies are you positive for? If you want some privacy...You can send me a message on my Facebook page. Disclaimer: I am not a licensed physician so I cannot give any medical advice...Please talk to your doctor.

[@sujith2074]

Why edema occur in brain , there is vasodilation in brain right due to hypoxia?

[@Carbon12r]

Because vasodilation within the brain from the hypoxia ant the relative waste concentrations will cause vasodilation, which increases flow to the organs, in this case the brain

[@mariothrowsfireballsuntitl1841]

@@Carbon12r which is not what medicosis perfictionalis said

[@mariothrowsfireballsuntitl1841]

Sujith it's for an another reason. It's because when the ↑pH in the brain the the cerebral vessels constrict. Vice versa when the ↓pH in the brain the cerebral vessels dilate to get rid of the H+

[@Carbon12r]

@@mariothrowsfireballsuntitl1841 u basically said the same thing as I did. Accumuli of co2 causes acidosis and also a direct effect of hypoxia is lactic acidosis (i just put them all as waste products)

Thank you very much brother I has recently discovered your channel , yes i mean it , it is a discovery ! This video is not the only video I watched in your channel , it is obvious that you are a high IQ man ما شاء الله . There are many things you were astonishing in the way you introdeuced them , among which i was very amzed in etymology , actually i used etymology late in the med school ... but i think it is very important . Excuse me ,,, The first thing changed in high altitude is not the FIO2 , what decreases is the PIO2 . The FIO2 which is the fraction of air comprised by O2 is not changed in high altitudes , it remains constant , i.e approximately 21 % . However PIO2 , which is given by the folowing equation , decreases : PIO2 = FIO2 x (Pb - 47 mmHg), where FIO2 is the fraction of oxygen in inspired air, Pb is the barometric pressure, and 47 mmHg is the vapor pressure of H2O at 37°C. The PIO2 is directly affected by the barometric pressure ( which i think is the hallmark change in high altitude , because of decreased weight of air above the measuring unit ) .
