Questions and Answers

What can be a consequence of hyperventilation?

  • Decrease in hemoglobin saturation
  • Increased oxygen demand
  • Dehydration
  • Alkaline pH in the blood (correct)

    • What happens to hemoglobin saturation at 19,000 feet altitude compared to sea level?

  • It is about 98% at 19,000 feet and about 67% at sea level
  • It is about 67% at 19,000 feet and about 98% at sea level (correct)
  • It remains constant at both altitudes
  • It drops to 25% at 19,000 feet and remains the same at sea level

    • Why does exercise pose a problem at higher altitudes?

  • Increased lung capacity
  • Low oxygen reserve in the veins (correct)
  • High hydration levels
  • Excessive oxygen in the blood
