Figure 1 Changes in cerebral (Scto2) and peripheral (Spo2) oxygenation with acclimatization. Both peripheral and cerebral oxygenation decreased after 2 days at 4559 m. After further acclimatization, peripheral oxygenation rebounded, whereas cerebral oxygenation continued to decline.

Figure 2 Scatter-plot demonstrating the percentage change induced by hyperventilation (HV) in peak systolic velocity (PSV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD; A) and percentage change in relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS; B) at sea level (time 0) and on days 2 and 7 after arrival at 4559 m.

Figure 3 Percentage reduction in peak systolic velocity (PSV) measured by transcranial Doppler or relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) after hyperventilation to 50% of baseline end-tidal CO2.
