Surviving and Thriving at Altitude - Paperback
Surviving and Thriving at Altitude - Paperback
Description
by Roberto Santos (Author), Christine Ebert-Santos Mps (Author)
Many different factors affect changes in the body at high elevations, especially over 9,000 feet (2,700 meters), and different bodies may respond differently to the extremes in this environment. What are the telltale signs of altitude sickness? How and why do physicians misdiagnose infants and children with low oxygen levels? How does being born at altitude affect child growth and development? Are there risks involved besides low oxygen? How does a hypoxic environment affect other diseases?
After decades of practicing at this elevation, Dr. Christine Ebert-Santos and her team share this unique compilation of altitude information, most of which has not previously been made accessible to people living at, exercising at, or visiting high-altitude environments.Care
