Nocturnal Oxygen Saturation in Mountaineers by Lakshmi mennon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study measured oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) continuously overnight (SpO2N) in 10 mountaineers during a 3-week expedition in Peru from 3050-6354 meters altitude. The main findings were: 1) SpO2N significantly increased over the course of each night, with higher levels in the second half compared to the first half. 2) The magnitude of the nightly SpO2N increase decreased with increasing time spent at altitude as acclimatization improved. 3) Failure of the SpO2N to increase overnight may indicate i
