Contribution of Hypoxic Exercise Testing to Predict High-Altitude Pathology: A Systematic Review
Life, 2022 Altitude travelers are exposed to high-altitude pathologies, which can be potentially serious. Individual susceptibility varies widely and this makes it difficult to predict who will develop these complications.

Physiological responses during ascent to high altitude and the incidence of acute mountain sickness
Physiological Reports, 2021 Acute mountain sickness (AMS) occurs when there is failure of acclimatisation to high altitude. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between physiological variables and the incidence of AMS during ascent to 5300 m.

Efficacy and Safety of Intermittent Hypoxic Training in the Prevention of Acute Hypoxic Injury [PDF]
Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2023 Background Acute hypoxic injury caused by acute altitude exposure is manifested by different degrees of clinical symptoms, some of which may develop into acute mountain sickness (AMS). However, the current prevention and treatment methods are limited and

High-altitude illness: Management approach
Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019 In high altitudes, usually above 2500 m, travelers are faced with decreased partial pressure of oxygen along with decreased barometric pressure. High-altitude illness, a syndrome of acute mountain sickness, high-altitude cerebral edema and high-altitude ...

Altitude sickness: Hyperventilatory capacity may predict altitude sickness
BMJ, 2003 EDITOR–Barry and Pollard reviewed altitude sickness.1 Tibetans and Sherpas (of Tibetan origin) have better physical performance at high altitude than whitepeople,2 possibly because of genetic differences.3 Acute adaptation to high altitude and low oxygen supply is primarilyby hyperventilation, which both improves oxygen saturation and increases blood ...

Prevention and treatment of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE)
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020 High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is often a severe and potentially fatal manifestation of acute mountain sickness (AMS). It usually develops within the first 2 in individuals rapidly ascending at altitudes above 4000 m.
