The Influence of CO2 and Exercise on Hypobaric Hypoxia Induced Pulmonary Edema in Rats

Introduction: Individuals with a known susceptibility to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) demonstrate a reduced ventilation response and increased pulmonary vasoconstriction when exposed to hypoxia. It is unknown whether reduced sensitivity to hypercapnia is correlated with increased incidence a...
