Randomized trial evaluates hemodynamics and oxygenation in climbers with acute mountain sickness, suggesting low oxygenation contributes to symptoms.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the differences in hemodynamics and oxygenation between climbers with acute mountain sickness and long-term sojourners at high altitude.
Conducted assessments of physical status, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation at 3000 m altitude.
Divided acclimatized climbers into two groups based on symptoms: AMS and no AMS, comparing both with long-term sojourners.
Analyzed collected data using ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests.
Heart rate was significantly higher in both AMS and no AMS groups compared to long-term sojourners.
sPO2 levels in the AMS group were significantly lower than in the no AMS and long-term sojourner groups.
No significant differences were found in systolic and diastolic pressure among the groups.
