Article Synopsis
- - Acute mountain sickness (AMS) affects many during high-altitude ascents, and this study aimed to explore how physiological factors relate to AMS occurrence during a trek to 5300 m.
- - Out of 332 participants, 73.5% experienced AMS, with 50.3% reporting moderate-to-severe symptoms; those with no prior exposure to altitudes over 5000 m were more at risk.
- - Key predictors for developing moderate-to-severe AMS included lower peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO) levels during exercise and no previous high-altitude experience, indicating these variables could help anticipate AMS risk in future treks.
