12 Does mild cabin hypoxia matter?
13 Physiological effects of aviation hypoxia ventilation (ventilatory acclimatisation to hypoxia) Fatemian M et al. Pflugers Arch - Eur J Physiol 2001 erythropoietin secretion Gunga HC et al. Lancet 1996 Effects on vision and neurocognitive function Petrassi FA et al. Aviat Space Environ Med 2012 (review)
14 What about hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction?
15
16 In animal models, significant vasoconstriction has been shown to begin at a PaO2 of 70 mmhg (9.3 kpa) this would correspond to the expected PaO2 (in an aircraft cabin). Species differences do exist, and it is not known whether significant hypoxic vasoconstriction begins in the human at the same altitude.
17 Avoid travel to > 2000 m if baseline mpap 35 mmhg or spap 50 (or use supplementary oxygen)

35 Conclusions
36 Conclusions Air travel stimulates the pulmonary circulation
37 Conclusions Air travel stimulates the pulmonary circulation In a susceptible passenger, pulmonary artery pressure can rapidly increase into the pulmonary hypertensive range, even during a medium-haul flight with a relatively low cabin altitude
38 Conclusions Air travel stimulates the pulmonary circulation In a susceptible passenger, pulmonary artery pressure can rapidly increase into the pulmonary hypertensive range, even during a medium-haul flight with a relatively low cabin altitude A high altitude simulation test with echocardiography (HAST-echo) may be helpful in assessing certain patients
39 Conclusions Air travel stimulates the pulmonary circulation In a susceptible passenger, pulmonary artery pressure can rapidly increase into the pulmonary hypertensive range, even during a medium-haul flight with a relatively low cabin altitude A high altitude simulation test with echocardiography (HAST-echo) may be helpful in assessing certain patients Further research is needed to explore the implications of these findings for patients with cardiopulmonary disease
