Background It is postulated that lack of hypoxic ventilatory response is a predictor for AMS.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO 2) is an accurate, noninvasive surrogate measure of …

Objective To explore the association of end-title partial pressure (Petco2) and oxygen
saturation (Spo2) with the development of AMS in travelers rapidly ascending to Cusco …

Prediction of acute mountain sickness by monitoring arterial saturation during ascent. High …

The purpose of the study was to investigate determinants of acute mountain sickness after
rapid ascent to high altitude. A total of 21 climbers were studied ascending from< 1,200 m to …

To examine whether sea-level hypoxic ventilatory responses (HVR) predict acute mountain
sickness (AMS) and document temporal changes in ventilation, HVR, gas exchange, and …

Background Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a usually self-limiting syndrome
encompassing headache, nausea and dizziness. AMS is seen in those that go from low to …

The acute ventilatory response to hypoxia (HVR) and to hypercapnia (CO2VR) was
measured in 32 members of two mountaineering expeditions prior to their departure. Both …

Physical exertion is thought to exacerbate acute mountain sickness (AMS). In this
prospective, randomized, crossover trial, we investigated whether moderate exercise …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) commonly occurs at altitudes exceeding 2000–2500 m and
usually resolves after acclimatization induced by a few days of chronic residence at the …

Performing exercise during the first hours of hypoxic exposure is thought to exacerbate
acute mountain sickness (AMS), but whether this is due to increased hypoxemia or other …
