Are All Individuals Equally Affected By Hypoxia? |
|
| No,
they are not. Just as there is a variation among individuals in their ability
to tolerate heat, cold, or alcohol, so can some people tolerate without
apparent effect, a degree of hypoxia, which would have noticeable effects
on others who are more susceptible to oxygen lack. There is no way to measure
and predict hypoxia tolerance, because it can be affected by physical condition,
fatigue, emotion, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, diet, and other factors. The individual
who has flown at 14,000, 16,000, or 18,000 feet without oxygen and survived
has no idea how close he may have been to disaster. He or she may believe
that all this talk about oxygen need, if true at all, does not apply to
him- or herself. Such a belief may some day be fatal. |
