Clinical trials: Hypobaric Hypoxia
Sleep-related Respiratory Disturbance
Effects of Mild Hypobaric Hypoxia on Oxygen Saturation During Sleep
Ascent to altitude lowers oxygen saturation. In addition, sleep lowers oxygen saturation at any altitude. In a prior study, we observed that sleep at 8000 feet resulted in pronounced reduction in oxygen saturation, but did not…
