Objective: Our objective was to determine the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) and the cardiorespiratory responses, in children and their parents, after rapid ascent to 3500 m. The sample population was composed of children and their parents who ascended within 24 hours from Arica (sea level) to Putre (3500 m) in Chile.
Methods: Acute mountain sickness symptoms were evaluated using the Children's Lake Louise Score (CLLS) in children and the Lake Louise Scoring System in their parents.
