Benefit of Acclimatization to Moderate Altitude on Arterial Oxygen Saturation Following Rapid Ascent to 4300 M

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of arterial oxygen saturation following rapid ascent to high altitude (4,300 m) in military personnel residing at moderate (^2,000 m) altitude. These data were compared to similar measurements previously collected on men and women residing near sea level.
