Correlation between hematological indicators in acclimatized high-altitude individuals and acute mountain sickness
Individuals suffering from moderate to severe AMS demonstrated increased levels of RBC, Hb, and HCT, as well as reduced SpO<sub>2</sub>, indicating a greater need for oxygen adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia. These findings emphasize the physiological adjustments to high altitudes and their potential implications for the treatment of AMS.
