[Changes in spirometric parameters and arterial oxygen saturation during a mountain ascent to over 3000 meters].
OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether climbing a mountain over 3000 meters high produces any alterations in ventilation, whether such alterations are modified by acclimatization, and whether they correlate with changes in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) or the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The following parameters were measured in 8 unacclimatized mountaineers ...
متن کاملDeterminants of summiting success and acute mountain sickness on Mt Kilimanjaro (5895 m).
OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS), the frequency of summiting success, and the factors that affect these in trekkers on Kilimanjaro, one of the world's most summitted high-altitude peaks. METHODS The study group comprised 312 trekkers attempting Mt Kilimanjaro summit by the Marango Route. Trekkers ascended over 4 or 5 days along a fixed ascent profile, stop...
متن کاملHyperventilatory capacity--a predictor of altitude sickness.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to document link between hyperventilatory capacity and risk for developing acute mountain sickness (AMS). METHODS This study was carried out at Karakorum Mountain ranges (Northern areas of Pakistan) from March till July 2004. 54 healthy male subjects were enrolled in this study. Arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) of the subjects was measured by the pulse oxi...
متن کاملEffect of aircraft-cabin altitude on passenger discomfort.
BACKGROUND Acute mountain sickness occurs in some unacclimatized persons who travel to terrestrial altitudes at which barometric pressures are the same as those in commercial aircraft during flight. Whether the effects are similar in air travelers is unknown. METHODS We conducted a prospective, single-blind, controlled hypobaric-chamber study of adult volunteers to determine the effect of bar...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme response to hypoxia in man: its role in altitude acclimatization.
The response of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity to three grades of hypoxia was studied in two groups of human subjects. Hypoxic gas mixtures having oxygen concentrations of 14, 12.6 and 10.4% were breathed successively for a period of 10 min at each concentration. Venous blood was sampled at the end of each of the three periods and arterial oxygen saturation was recorded thro...
