Abstract:Introduction
Individuals who travel to high altitude experience variable levels of poor sleep quality and sleep disordered breathing, which can have neurocognitive and other systemic impacts. Past studies by our group and others have shown that the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) increases, and nocturnal oxygen saturation decreases at higher altitude. This may change over time with acclimatization to environmental hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to examine the trajectory and variability in hi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
