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!
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%).
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?
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.
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.
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.
It's magical how I felt from the first time that you are Egyptian 😂💗 you have the typical Egyptian manner of teaching and sense of humor. The only place where I like being told idiot 😂. All the best and thank you so much for offering such priceless lessons to us.
In 16:00 minute there’s a wrong statement in this slide u write in the shifting to the left there’s a decreased y axis and this statement it’s wrong it will be (increasing) in the y axis( not a decrease)
@@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.
Loved this! I'll be taking pathophysiology classes next year in my nursing studies. You make learning fun and easy to remember with your upbeat style! Keep it up :)
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.
First big error - there is no less oxygen on higher altitudes!! The amount of oxygen in atmosphere remains the same no matter how high it is, it's always 21% of air
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.
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 ) .
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
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+
@@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)
@@Carbon12r In every artery there is vasodilatation because of hypoxia and waste products. But the cerebral vessels are especially sensitive to acidosis
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.
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.

Why does hypoxia cause cerebral edema? Does hypoxia also cause vasoconstriction of the cerebral blood vessels?
Can you do a teaching video on carbon monoxide poisoning?
I already did...Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/6iyAHeH7nHg/w-d-xo.html/
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!

What's the cause for Cerebral Edema???

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

Hey, if Cerebral Blood vessels dilate during hypoxia, how does it cause Cerebral edema?
Dilation of blood vessel increases flow of blood which raises hydrostatic pressure in capillaries. This increases the risk of edema.
Big Fan Sir!!!
Thank you 🙏
I wonder what is your specialty 🙄 and,thanks alot❤
What is the mechanism that makes pulmonary arteries react paradoxical to all other arteries in hypoxia?
Redirecting bloodflow to Alveoli that has more oxygen from ambient.
First big error - there is no less oxygen on higher altitudes!! The amount of oxygen in atmosphere remains the same no matter how high it is, it's always 21% of air
Yes, FiO2 doesn’t change, but PiO2 does.
This really is a fun way of learning hahhaahah thank you!

where is the cyanosis?
How to increase EPO ?
Why do you want to increase it?
still didnt understand why high altitude causes cerebral edema. Hypoxia in the lung causes shunting, in the brain too?
