Abstract		For pulmonary patients, mountaineering can be a way to relax and maintain a certain degree of physical fitness. However, the functional disability resulting from a pulmonary disease poses a risk of accidents or injury during physical exertion. Dyspnea is the principal factor which limits the degree of exertion. The physicians helping such patients in the field should recognize the possible triggers of dyspnea and attempt to alleviate them. Pulmonary patients should obtain professional advice concerning the appropriate degree of physical exertion prior to mountaineering.
Summary		Pljučni bolnik v želji za vzdrževanje čimboljše telesne pripravljenosti in za sprostitev zahaja tudi v gore in planine, kjer je zaradi svoje bolezni bolj ogrožen kot ostali obiskovalci gora. Omejuje ga predvsem dispneja, katere vzroki so lahko številni. Zdravnik, ki v gorah pomaga takemu bolniku, naj bi te vzroke spoznal in jih skušal odpraviti. Pomembno pa je tudi svetovati bolniku, preden se odpravi v gore, za kakšno stopnjo telesne aktivnosti je zaradi okvarjene pljučne funkcije še sposoben.
