Clinical trials: Avalanche, Landslide, or Mudslide
Avalanche, Landslide, or Mudslide, Asphyxia; Immersion
Efficacy and Pathophysiological Implications of a New Asphyxiation Delaying Device
Survival of fully buried avalanche victims depends in major part on a triad of hypoxia, hypercapnia, and hypothermia and therefore decreases rapidly after complete burial.

Hypoxia, Hypothermia, Accidental
Triple H ODC Trial
In an avalanche burial with an air pocket hypercapnia (and hypoxia) develops within few minutes, hypercapnia increases the rate of cooling and therefore the development of hypothermia.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Avalanche, Landslide, or Mudslide
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Quality of Life of Avalanche Survivors From 2014 to 2018, Based on the French North Alpine Avalanche Register
The aim of this study is to identify if an avalanche accident has a psychological impact on avalanche victims. The investigators hypothesize that being exposed to an avalanche could generate enough stress to develop posttraumatic…
