Low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude 
• Stop ascent 
• Supportive
altitude • Stop ascent ... hyperbaric chamber • Descent
Jugular Waveform Components 
 • a wave - due to atrial contraction: It occurs just before
• x descent - ... • x descent - ... overcomes the descent ... • y descent - ... Thus the y descent
