Students undertaking the Human & Applied Physiology MSc at King’s College London carrying a practical class. This is an experiment to look at single-person CPR in simulated altitude. Using a normobaric hypoxic chamber, altitudes of ground level (20.9% oxygen), 8,000 ft (15% oxygen) and 13,000 ft (12% oxygen) were used to assess physiological and cognitive responses in participants to the stress of single-person CPR on a simulator.
