Human Adaptation to High Altitude and to Sea Level: Acid-base Equilibrium, Ventilation and Circulation in Chronic Hypoxia Gustavo Zubieta-calleja

Prof. Dr. Gustavo Zubieta Calleja, has, a life with multiple interests: Medical Doctor, High Altitude Medicine, Pulmonologist, Bioengineering, Physiologist, Medical software development, Diplomatic activities, mechanic, Medical hardware inventor, Professor, founder of Zubieta University, investigator, Visiting Professor at Panum Institute, Copenhagen University with Prof. Poul-Erik Paulev and much more. Here he touches new ideas 1) Acid-base charts suitable for diagnosis of disorders and their treatment at high altitude. 2) High Altitude diving tables 3) Circulation time in Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS) 4) CMS patients hypoventilate to save energy 5) CMS is due to disease at high altitude. Also, the High Altitude Adaptation formula. The high altitude modification factors for the Van Slyke equation. All this gives rise to a proposal to improve space vehicles. He closely collaborated with Prof. Dr. Gustavo Zubieta Castillo (Sr.) his father and mentor, creator of multiple theories like the adaptation of man to life at the summit of Mount Everest, and many other novel, original ideas that are gradually shaping the current thinking of high altitude medicine.
