Lesson 1Cabin height body effects and low-oxygen air: impacts on oxygen levels, heart problems, and symptom limitsThis lesson describes cabin height body effects and low-oxygen air, including usual cabin pressures, effects on oxygen levels and heart load, symptom limits in fit and at-risk passengers, and treatment meanings.
