Acute Mountain Sickness Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Supplement of CO2 Using Novel Portable Device on Exercise Performance at High Altitude
High altitude (>2400 m) is associated with decreased atmosphere pressure leading to hypoxia which in turn impairs exercise capacity and causes acute mountain sickness (AMS). It is noted that adding CO2 might be beneficial to improve hypoxia and exercise performance at high altitude. However, no device is currently available that can supply a constant low dose of CO2 during free movement at high altitude. We have recently invented a portable device which is small and light enough for supplement of low dose CO2 during field exercise at high altitude.
Objective: To determine whether the supplement of low-dose CO2 by the novel device could improve exercise performance at high altitude. Methods: The lowlanders (<500m) who have no history of travelling to high altitude (>1000m) a year before the study will be recruited. And the subjects who are high-altitude residents and have not left high altitude over the last twelve months will also be recruited for the study. Subjects will be randomly and blindly given either CO2 mixed with air or air alone during endurance shuttle walking test (ESWT). Blood gases will be measured before and after inhalation of CO2. ESWT time, ventilation per minute (VE), blood oxygen saturation (SPO2), and end-tidal CO2 concentration (ETCO2) will be measured during exercise and will be compared during inhalation of CO2 and during inhalation of ambient air. ;
