Summary

The primary objective of the study will be to determine whether rapid remote limb ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) combined with acetazolamide can further reduce the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) during the 6-hour hypoxic chamber.

Conditions

  • Acute Mountain Sickness

Interventions

DRUG

Acetazolamide

Start orally take acetazolamide 125mg twice daily, 2 days before entering the hypoxic chamber. Subjects will enter the hypoxic room at 9am on the third day. At that time, the subject should have taken the drug 5 times.

DEVICE

Doctormate® (twice daily for 6 days)

Start RIPC training twice daily, 6 days before entering the hypoxic chamber. RIPC will be induced by Renqiao Remote Ischemic Conditioning Device (Doctormate®). Each training will be comprised of 5 cycles of bilateral upper limb ischemia and reperfusion, which will be induced by 2 cuffs placed around the upper arms respectively and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion by cuff deflation. Subjects will enter the hypoxic room at 9am on the seventh day. At that time, the subject should have finished 13 times of RIPC training.

DEVICE

Doctormate® (forth daily for 3 days)

Start RIPC training forth daily, 3 days before entering the hypoxic chamber. RIPC will be induced by Renqiao Remote Ischemic Conditioning Device (Doctormate®). Each training will be comprised of 5 cycles of bilateral upper limb ischemia and reperfusion, which will be induced by 2 cuffs placed around the upper arms respectively and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion by cuff deflation. Subjects will enter the hypoxic room at 9am on the forth day. At that time, the subject should have finished 13 times of RIPC training.
