Oxygen availability in a HAPE-positive and a HAPE-negative woman before and during a visit to 3480 meters

Johannes Burtscher

Background: Testing the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) at low-altitude helps to detect those who do not hyperventilate appropriately in hypoxia but might not necessarily predict the HVR and the risk to develop acute mountain sickness (AMS) at high alti ...
