Factors associated with B-lines after exposure to hypobaric hypoxia

Conclusion
B-lines during exposure to altitude seem to reflect the individual response to hypobaric hypoxia and represent clinically relevant alterations at high altitude, also in patients with HAPE. Similar to previous studies, our results support a non-cardiogenic aetiology of B-lines.
