Purpose We aimed at identifying the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Methods Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography examinations were performed between 18 and 24 h after arrival at 3,700 m via plane from 500 m ( n  = 454). A subgroup of 151 subjects received TCD...
