High Altitude Dynamics in Cerebral Oxygenation of Mountain Rescue Personnel: A Prospective Alpine Proof-of-Concept Field Study
Overall, low rSO2 values were found in mountain rescuers at high altitudes, and there were considerable interpersonal differences of changes in cerebral oxygenation after an ascent. Using rSO2 to assess performance-readiness in mountain rescuers and individual proneness to potential cognitive dysfunction or acute mountain sickness (AMS) could be further research goals.
