BBC programme looks at the effects of hypoxia on the human body
Summit 2007
Take a step back in time with the BBC as they revisit Case Medicine's Dr Kevin Fong's To Boldly Go series. In one episode he is joined by Xtreme Everest's Dr Dan Martin who talks about his summit of Mount Everest in 2007 and his record of holding the lowest blood oxygen level ever recorded.
This interesting programme follows Kevin as he climbs the Alps and undertakes a depressurisation to 25,000 feet during a flight, all in the name of science. Using graphics to pinpoint the effects of hypoxia on the human body he sets out to find how we can conquer the other 75% of the planet that we currently don't occupy.
