High Altitude Pulmonary Edema.

Abstract

A centrineurogenic etiology for the pulmonary lesions of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and oxygen toxicity (OT). The authors developed canine models for induction of these lesions in the unanesthetized beagle with respiratory hypoxia or 100% O2 at ambient pressure and at elevated pressures. A discussion of the experimental results is reported.
