Summary
This study tested whether a drug called acetazolamide can improve sleep-disordered breathing in women traveling to high altitude (3600 m). 303 healthy adults participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The main goal was to see if the drug reduced drops in oxygen levels during sleep, comparing effects between women and men.
