Medical problems in high altitude- Height does mattermanya1759
High altitudes are frequented by ardent mountaineers or tough soldiers. The medical problems faced at these uninhabitable conditions are discussed only when some catastrophe strikes them like Everest avalanche or Siachen avalanche. The presentation classifies high altitude, the medical problems faced there and management of same.

This presentation is about the causes and mechanisms of central and peripheral cyanosis. It also contain some general information about different scenarios of cyanosis.
Pulmonary edema is often caused by congestive heart failure. When the heart is not able to pump efficiently, blood can back up into the veins that take blood through the lungs. As the pressure in these blood vessels increases, fluid is pushed into the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs.

It discusses various effects of high altitude on human body in detail, acute mountain sickness, chronic mountain sickness, high altitude pulmonary edema, high altitude cerebral edema, acclimatization

A large number of modern jet aircraft, of all sizes and including Very Light Jets (VLJs)s, routinely cruise at high altitudes.
The record of Accidents and Serious Incidents which have accompanied this increase in high altitude flight has suggested that pilot understanding of the aerodynamic principles which apply to safe high-altitude flight may not always have been sufficient. This applies particularly to attempts to recover from an unexpected loss of control. The subject is introduced in this article and covered in comprehensive detail in the references provided.
From a practical point of view, ‘high altitude’ operations are taken to be those above FL250, which is the altitude at above which aircraft certification requires that a passenger cabin overhead panel oxygen mask drop-down system has to be installed. Above this altitude a number of features begin to take on progressively more significance as altitude continues to increase:
There is a continued reduction in the range of airspeed over which an aircraft remains controllable;
True airspeed (TAS) (and therefore aircraft momentum) increases with altitude. However, the effectiveness of the aerodynamic controls and natural aerodynamic damping are both dependant upon indicated airspeed (IAS) and remain largely unchanged. Therefore, the ability of the aerodynamic flight controls to influence flight path or to recover from an upset is progressively reduced as altitude increases;
In the event of depressurisation, the time of useful consciousness for occupants deprived of oxygen reduces dramatically - see the separate articles on Emergency Depressurisation, and Hypoxia.
At very high altitude, occupants are exposed to slightly increased cosmic radiation. This is covered by the separate article "Cosmic Radiation".
This article focuses on aerodynamics and aircraft handling.
Altitude training is an established method to improve endurance performance, but also high intensity sports can benefit from it's use. There are a few important points to consider however to maximize it's effects and to become an altitude training responder !
