Breathing device for preventing altitude sickness

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)

Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This trial tests if a breathing tool that creates positive pressure when you exhale can help prevent acute mountain sickness during a climb up Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. It may help people who plan to climb at very high altitudes.

HAPH Registry: Study on lung artery pressure in high-altitude residents

This study is for people living at high altitudes (above 2,500 meters) to understand how the pressure in the arteries of the lungs changes over time and how it affects health. It may help doctors predict and manage heart and lung problems that can occur in high-altitude residents.
