Change in Oxygen Saturation Does Not Predict Acute Mountain Sickness on Jade Mountain Hang-Cheng Chen, MD, Wen-Ling Lin, MD, Jiunn-Yih Wu, MD, Shih-Hao Wang, MD, Te-Fa Chiu, MD, Yi-Ming Weng, MD, Tai-Yi Hsu, MD, Meng-Huan Wu, MD Wilderness & Environmental Medicine Volume 23, Issue 2, Pages 122-127 (June 2012) DOI: 10.1016/j.wem.2012.03.014 Copyright © 2012 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Resting oxygen saturation (R-Spo2) between subjects with and without acute mountain sickness (AMS) measured at the Jade Mountain trail entrance (2610 m), on arrival at Paiyun Lodge (3402 m) on the first day, and on return from the Jade Mountain summit at the trail entrance (2610 m) on the second day. *P < .05, significant difference between AMS and non-AMS groups using independent 2-sample Student's t test.

Figure 2 Change of resting oxygen saturation (CR-Spo2) between subjects with and without acute mountain sickness (AMS) calculated using data taken at the trail entrance and Paiyun Lodge. CR-Spo2 = change of resting oxygen saturation ([Spo2 at entrance – Spo2 at Paiyun Lodge]/Spo2 at entrance) × 100. *P < .05, significant difference between AMS and non-AMS groups using independent 2-sample Student's t test.
