Impact of nocturnal oxygen enrichment on high-altitude acclimatization

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This work examined the impact of nocturnal oxygen enrichment on short-term high-altitude acclimatization to 2,800 m while completing daily hikes to 4,200 m. Recurrently dampening the required hypoxic stimulus for acclimatization via nocturnal oxygen enrichment improved sleep but did not impair short-term high-altitude acclimatization. This was evinced through ventilatory and cardiovascular adjustments that improved arterial blood oxygen saturation after 7 days.
