The present study investigated whether there are changes in nasal peak inspiratory flow (NPIF) during hypobaric hypoxia under controlled environmental conditions.During operation Everest III (COMEX '97), eight subjects ascended to a simulated altitude of 8,848 m in a hypobaric chamber. NPIF was recorded at simulated altitudes of 0 m, 5,000 m and 8,000 m. Oral peak inspiratory and expiratory flow (OPIF, OPEF) were also measured. Ambient air temperature and humidity were controlled.NPIF increased by a mean+/-SD of 16+/-12% from sea level to 8,000 m, whereas OPIF increased by 47+/-14%. NPIF rose by 0.085+/-0.03 L.s(-1) per kilometre of ascent (p
