Centre for Altitude, Space, and Extreme Environment Medicine, University College London Institute of Human Health and Performance, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The level of environmental hypobaric hypoxia that affects climbers at the summit of Mount Everest (8848 m [29,029 ft]) is close to the limit of tolerance by humans. We performed direct field measurements of arterial blood gases in climbers breathing ambient air on Mount Everest.
Methods: We obtained samples of arterial blood from 10 climbers during their ascent to and descent from the summit of Mount Everest.
