The major mechanisms that drive pulmonary ventilation are atmospheric pressure (Patm); the air pressure within the alveoli, called alveolar pressure (Palv); and the pressure within the pleural cavity, called intrapleural pressure (Pip).

At 29,029 feet, climbers often require oxygen tanks due to lower oxygen levels, and water boils at about 70°C instead of 100°C, complicating cooking. The boiling point decreases with altitude as vapor pressure changes, affecting climbers' daily activities.
