Rationale: Quantitative data on ventilation during acclimatization at very high altitude are
scant. Therefore, we monitored nocturnal ventilation and oxygen saturation in mountaineers …

Little is known about the ocular and cerebral blood flow during exposure to increasingly
hypoxic conditions at high altitudes. There is evidence that an increase in cerebral blood …

Increased intracranial pressure is suspected in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness
(AMS), but no studies have correlated it with the presence or severity of AMS. We sought to …
