Documentary Description
This two-part special follows a team of doctors conducting a series
of groundbreaking experiments as they climb Everest, the world's highest
peak. From their laboratory tents, pitched in -25°C
conditions, the experts use their own bodies for medical tests.
They push themselves to the limit to better understand the human body's
behaviour in a low-oxygen environment. The team hopes their work
will lead to new, life-saving treatments for intensive care patients
suffering from hypoxia, a shortage of oxygen in the body.
