Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC): a new biomarker for high-altitude pulmonary edema in the Ecuadorian Andes

Scientific Reports, 2022
Ascent to high altitude (> 3000 m height above sea level or m.a.s.l) exposes people to hypobaric atmospheric pressure and hypoxemia, which provokes mountain sickness and whose symptoms vary from the mild acute mountain sickness to the life-threatening ...

Examination of novel diagnostic approaches and contemporary strategies for preventing acute mountain sickness

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction and purpose: Acute mountain sickness is caused by hypoxia, of which the brain is the most sensitive. The frequency of occurrence at altitudes above 2500 m above sea level may reach up to 75% of travelers.

Physiological Responses in Humans Acutely Exposed to High Altitude (3480 m): Minute Ventilation and Oxygenation Are Predictive for the Development of Acute Mountain Sickness

High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2019
The importance of arterial oxygen saturation for the prediction of acute mountain sickness (AMS) is still a matter of debate. Reasons for discrepancies may result from varying laboratory or field conditions and their interactions.
