Abstract
During expeditions to mountains higher than 8,000 metres, mountaineers have extremely low values of SaO2, similar to those of patients with severe respiratory failure. SaO2 increases progressively with acclimatization. SaO2 on the summit could have been relatively high, probably because of hyperventilation.
