KnO2wledge 10: Oxygen

Join us and the Royal Society of Medicine as we celebrate not only our 10th KnO2wledge conference but ten years since the successful Xtreme Everest team summit of Everest.

The RSM are working in collaboration with the Xtreme Everest Oxygen Research consortium to deliver the latest research, experiments and knowledge learnt from the Everest laboratory at the 10th anniversary summit.

The continual commitment and extreme experiments carried out by this team bring lessons learnt from the mountainside to the bedside to improve outcomes for people who become critically ill and save the lives of many.
Background

On the 23 May 2007 the Xtreme Everest team successfully summited Mount Everest (8848 meters). On the 24 May 2007, the second part of the team also successfully reached the top. These doctors and scientists studied human systems when stretched to breaking point in extreme environments to increase our understanding of critically ill patients.

For more details and the programme for this two day event, please visit the dedicated pages on the Xtreme Everest website.
