Does the oxygen content vary in proportion to the density altitude?
That she would soon become acclimated to the lower altitude and have to use the O2 the same as here. Thanks for any info helping me better understand the questions. Fuzz * * * A. Hi Fuzz, I would add that while folks may find that moving to a lower altitude causes their oxygen saturation to average higher, there is no evidence that it is a temporary condition. The only expected cause of continuing decrease after moving to lower altitude would be disease progression and continued loss of lung function. That is not tied in any way to changing altitude by any evidence I’ve ever seen. Also, with respect to the term oxygen “content”, when we use the term ‘scientifically’ accurately, we DO speak of number of molecules. So while “partial pressure” relates to “oxygen content” and changes with altitude, the “percentage” of oxygen in the total gas mixture at ANY altitude does not change. There is always 20.85 % oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere no matter the altitude. But, because of changes in densi
