The Measurement of Pulmonary Extravascular Water Volume during Exposure to Simulated High Altitude,

High Altitude Pulmonary Edema

“…Smith and Ramsey 82 found an increase in extravascular lung water in young cattle when taken to altitude. Coates and associates 10 measured lung density using a Compton scatter technique and found an increase in human subjects during exposure to 4268 m simulated altitude, which they attributed to interstitial edema.…”
