Dynamics in the prevalence and clinical manifestations of acute mountain sickness of different ascent protocols during high altitudes exposure
Ascent protocol emerged as the pivotal influence on the prevalence of AMS and associated manifestations, demonstrating a transition from a risk factor during initial ascent to a protective factor following further ascent to higher altitudes. These findings suggest an innovative strategy for high-altitude expeditions and work endeavors, emphasizing the importance of a strategic plan for ascending to higher altitudes.
