Posting this for a friend who is involved in the study. The chamber is in Denver. I might be able to answer very general questions. Call Andrew (number at bottom) for specifics.
The Colorado Center for Altitude Medicine and Physiology at the University of Colorado is recruiting subjects for a research study (COMIRB # 03-189), which will be studying the rise in the severity of Acute Altitude Illness, when induced by exercise.
This study will involve the following:
Screening visit
3 non-consecutive days in a chamber that simulates high altitude, each of these sessions is up to 12 hours
Bike exercising in the chamber
MRI scans
I.V. catheter placed in the arm
Several blood draws
Taking medication for altitude illness and non-invasive study procedures
3 days of pre-study diet before each chamber day (food provided)
Subjects will receive monetary compensation for participation in the experiment.
Subjects need to be healthy, not pregnant, NON-SMOKING, men and women ages 18 – 40 years of age. All fitness levels are welcome. Subjects who have a history of altitude illness are strongly encouraged to volunteer. Principal investigator for this study is Dr. Robert Roach. If you are interested in participating or would like more information about this study contact Andrew Subudhi, Ph.D. at 303-724-1630.
