Arterial Oxygen Saturation as a Predictor of Acute Mountain Sickness and Summit Success among Mountianeers
The purpose of this study was to determine if arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), as measured by a finger pulse oximeter upon rapid arrival to 4260 m, could be predictive of acute mountain sickness (AMS) or summit success on a climb to 5640 m. In total 73 climbers volunteered to participate in the st...
