Friend or foe: Face masks in patients with COPD at high altitude

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 14, July 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude environments impose unique physiological challenges due to reduced barometric pressure and lower inspired oxygen partial pressure, raising concerns about the safety of face mask use in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. While evidence at sea level shows that surgical and N95 masks modestly impair gas exchange—
