Oxygen saturation and acute mountain sickness during repeated altitude exposures simulating high-altitude working schedules

Abstract This study aimed to quantify the effect of two consecutive prolonged, intermittent exposures to high and very high altitudes on oxygen saturation (SpO2) and acute mountain sickness (AMS). For this, healthy lowlanders (N = 21), aged 18–30 years, underwent two 7-day sojourns at the ALMA obser...
