Summary

We use a new technology (Nexfin from BMEYE-Inventive Hemodynamics) to monitor Cardiac Output, Blood Pressure, Fluid Responsiveness, Pulse Oximetry, Hemoglobin Concentration, Oxygen Delivery in Climbers during their process of acclimatization on a expedition to Mount Aconcagua.

Detailed description

Several parameters will be recorded to analyze their influence on the adaptation to high altitude. Such as, food composition, dietary supplements, water intake and output.

Conditions

• Acute Mountain Sickness
• High Altitude Pulmonary Edema
• High Altitude Cerebral Edema
