PSYCHOMOTOR EFFECTS OF LOW DOSES OF ACETAZOLAMIDE TO AID ACCOMMODATION OF MEN TO ALTITUDE

Abstract

Studies were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of acetazolamide in aiding accommodation to altitude. Three experimental conditions were included in the studies: five men decompressed to a pressure altitude of 14,000 ft. for 6 hours; six men decompressed to 16,000 ft. for 4 hours; and three men decompressed to 14,000 ft. for 5 days. Each subject participated in two runs, one with administration of the drug and the other in placebo, using the usual 'double blind' procedure.
