Overdrinking and non-osmotic arginine vasopressin release are the main risk factors for exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) in ultra-marathon events. However, particularly during ultra-marathon running in mountainous regions, eccentric …

Our data show that ScO2 determined by NIRS was not always impaired in humans breathing into an artificial air pocket despite decreased oxygen supply and decreased carbon dioxide removal. This may indicate that in medium to low s…

Introduction Suspension syndrome describes a potentially life-threatening event during passive suspension on a rope. The pathophysiological mechanism is not fully understood; however, the most widespread hypothesis assumes blood pools in t…

Sudden pre-syncope during passive suspension in a harness was observed in 30% of the tests. Blood pools in the veins of the lower legs; however, a vagal mechanism finally leads to loss of consciousness. Time to pre-syncope is unpredictable…

The influence of snow physical properties on humans breathing into an artificial air pocket Open
Breathing under snow, e.g. while buried by a snow avalanche, is possible in the presence of an air pocket, but limited in time as hypoxia and hypercapnia rapidly develop. It was suspected that the snow physical properties affect the develo…
