Live from Boston ASA 2017 - Life at The Extremes - trials on Everest & adapting to hypoxia

A discussion about oxygen and the Xtreme Everest research studies into human adaptation to hypoxia. How does the human body adapt to extreme conditions, we assume it will inevitably cause damage but this is not always the case. How do people who have inherited a tolerance for low levels of oxygen manage?

Monty Mythen, Mike Grocott and Joff Lacey are joined by special guest Dr Dan Martin OBE Consultant in Intensive Care and Everest summiteer.
