Hello, I am "apnea specialist" with Cirque Du Soleil. Currently we are in Bogota, with an elevation of 2,640meters ( 8,660ft) . Normally all my warm ups are done with a FRC at the bottom of my aquarium (1.8m).
I'm curious if, because of the air pressure is different, if this will effect the gas exchange in my lungs, and possibly increase the risk of lung squeeze or alveoli collapse?
Besides that and difficult breath holds are there any other risks to elevation?
Thank you
Derek
