Self-monitoring symptoms and pulse oximetry to predict imminent altitude illness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Lowlanders with COPD ascending to 3100 m commonly experience ARAHE. Due to its high positive predictive value, performing SSM may allow patients to predict imminent ARAHE and take timely appropriate actions such as descend or use oxygen. Negative SSM does not reliably indicate a low risk of ARAHE.
