Popis: Central sleep apnea (CSA) is universal during ascent to high altitude, with intermittent and transient fluctuations in oxygen saturation, but the consequences on mean sleeping blood oxygenation are unclear. We assessed indices of CSA and mean sleeping peripheral oxygen saturation ([Formula: see text]) during ascent to high altitude using two ascent profiles: rapid ascent and residence at 3,800 m and incremental ascent to 5,160 m. The severity of CSA was not correlated with mean sleeping [Formula: see text] with ascent.
