In mountainous regions – particularly altitudes of 9,840 to 16,400 feet above sea level – activities such as skiing, hiking, bicycling or climbing, place unique challenges on the heart and blood vessels due to lower levels of oxygen and fluctuations in air pressure, temperature and humidity. At high altitudes, the heart requires more oxygen-rich blood, even when at rest. High-altitude pulmonary edema is a largely preventable condition.

An aerodigestive disorder is a combination of conditions that affects breathing, swallowing or growth. It occurs when the pathways used for breathing and swallowing let food or liquid into the lungs. Children with such a disorder typically have frequent respiratory illnesses. This activity will review the latest evidence-based advancements in aerodigestive care.
