Jakeman and Dr. R. McMorris Assessment Date 25/06/2011 Does this procedure already have ethical approval? (Delete as appropriate) YES/NO If YES, enter ethical number and expiry date Approval No: EHSREC11-36 RA01 Expiry Date: 31/12/ Please provide a brief description of the procedure Summary: People regularly travel to altitude for short (days) or long (weeks to months) as part of their occupation or for recreational purposes (mountain climbing, trekking, skiing). Similarly, athletes travel to altitude to gain an enhancement in performance. Altitude acclimation is a widely adopted practice in sport. In low-lying countries like Ireland, athletes travel to countries with mountainous regions to undertake altitude acclimation. Alternatively, an altitude environment can be simulated at sea-level by controlling the amount of oxygen present in room air. This simulated altitude is known as normobaric hypoxia 1. The National Altitude Training Centre is a residential facility within which the altitude can be simulated to generate normobaric hypoxia that is controlled at a specified programme of altitude acclimation. This risk assessment addresses the most widely applied paradigm for athletes engaging in Altitude Training i. Residential Simulated Altitude Acclimation whereby the subject resides within the simulated attitude environment, normally for a period of 12-16h per day (e.g. 6pm to 8 am) but, ii. undertakes his/her training session(s) in normal ambient air (e.g. at the Arena). This simulates the live high-train-low paradigm is normally undertaken for a period ranging from 14 to 28d. 1 Note: The Medical Commission of the Union Internationale des Associations d Alpinisme (UIAA) is the world umbrella organization for health and safety at altitude. UIAA MedCom provides guidelines to the risks and precautions associated with Limited Exposure (for some days or weeks) to normobaric hypoxia. These guidelines form the basis of the Risk Assessment and Operating Procedures governing simulated altitude exposure conducted within the National Altitude Training UL. November 2011 Page 1

2 Components of the Risk Assessment: 1. Operation of the National Altitude Training Centre The operational construct of the National Altitude Training Centre UL is provided in Appendix I. This statement includes the general design, floor plan, hypoxic control and safety aspects pertaining to the building and equipment and the management of the facility. 2. Risks and Precautions of Limited Exposure to Altitude An appraisal of the guidelines for healthy subjects undertaking limited exposure (days to weeks) to simulated altitude generated by normobaric hypoxia is provided in Appendix II. This statement includes the risks and precautions associated with limited altitude exposure and procedures for the screening and management of subjects in an altitude environment. 2 Location in which the procedure may take place National Altitude Training Centre, 56, Kilmurry Village, University of Limerick 3 Eligibility of subject(s) to be used UL students (U.G. or P.G.) engaged in simulated altitude projects granted ethical approval. University staff or campus personnel engaged in simulated altitude projects granted ethical approval. Members of the general public engaged in simulated altitude projects granted ethical approval. 4 Potential risks. To be explained before obtaining consent None, or minimal discomfort only If the risks are other than trivial please provide a brief description. The principal risk to the subject is an acute reaction to hypoxia known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This is dealt with in detail in the attached procedures. 5 Action to be taken in the event of an foreseeable emergency Please provide a clear statement of appropriate action including contact names and telephone numbers. 1. Stop the procedure. Remove the subject from the hypoxic environment or open the windows to allow normal air into the room. Position the subject to prevent self-injury. 2. Raise the subject s lower limbs to improve blood flow and counteract the vasovagal influence. Should the subject fail to respond summon help, immediately. 3. Check vital signs airways, breathing and circulation (ABC) 4. If required, attempt CPR 5. If required, use AED 6. Contact telephone numbers: a. During normal working hours 9am-5pm, use NATC phone to contact the Student Health Centre on 2534 b. Outside of normal working hours, or if the Student Health Centre number is engaged/busy, use the NATC phone to dial 3333 for UL security personnel who will then contact the ambulance service.

5 Specifications of the Residential Simulated Altitude House. The University of Limerick has converted 56, Kilmurry Village into a residential simulated altitude house. The house comprises 7 bedrooms (dimensions 242cm (h) x 254cm (w) x 301cm (d) = 33.43m 3 : total space = m 3 ) complete with a Living Space (dimensions 246cm (h) x 437cm (w) x 307cm (d) = 33.00m cm (h) x 335cm (w) x 485cm (d) = 39.97m3: total space = 72.97m 3 ). Hypoxic Control: The hypoxic (lower than sea level ambient oxygen concentration, i.e. 20.9% O 2 ) control system is located within a secure room of the altitude house. The control panel is also monitored from a remote site from the Altitude Centre. The Hypoxico system governing the air conditioning within this environment is capable of maintaining a conditioned environment ranging from normal ambient 20.93% O 2 through to a low of 11% O 2 within the bedrooms and the living area. This provides an effective altitude range from sea level to approximately 5000m. The control system maintains the oxygen level in the space within a resolution of 0.1%. The altitude meter equivalent display is calibrated to the nearest 0.1% changes in O 2. The system is password protected: password is available to authorised personnel only. Residents using the altitude house will NOT be able to alter the altitude environment. Override and Safety Lock Out. All the equipment is CE certificated. All rooms are fitted with oxygen monitors. The oxygen sensors produce an independent audible alarm within the room if the pre-programmed alarm threshold is reached. The oxygen monitors are password protected to avoid tampering. In the event of an error signal from the O 2 sensor the system will shut down. The safety override system will deliver 20.9% O2 (ambient air) to the room. If the system failure the air environment returns to its non-conditioned state, i.e. normoxic 20.9% O 2 Project Management and Standard Operation Procedure: Joe O Brien of Kelly, Barry, O Brien & Whelan was appointed Project Manager in conjunction with Buildings and UL. Richard Pullen from The Altitude Centre Ltd, London was the consultant appointed to supply and fit the air conditioning and control system. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been approved and formally adopted into University s Health and Safety Policy and Professional Indemnity Cover agreed by the University s insurance underwriter.

6 Procedures and Risks Pertaining To Short Term Altitude Acclimation An appraisal of the guidelines for healthy subjects undertaking limited exposure (days to weeks) to simulated altitude generated by normobaric hypoxia is provided here. This statement includes the risks and precautions associated with limited altitude exposure and procedures for the screening and management of subjects in an altitude environment. General: 1. Assessors: The assessment was made by Professor Phil Jakeman (UL) and Dr. Roger McMorrow. Roger McMorrow (MB, BCh, BAO, Dip Mtn Med, FCARCSI) is Consultant Anaesthetist at St. Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin and UIAA MedCom recognised expert in altitude medicine in July Dr McMorrow was a member of the medical and scientific research team on the Caudwell Xtreme Everest expedition to summit Everest in Professional Governance: The Medical Commission of the Union Internationale des Associations d Alpinisme (UIAA ) is the world umbrella organization for health and safety at altitude. UIAA MedCom provides guidelines to the risks and precautions associated with Limited Exposure (for some days or weeks) to normobaric hypoxia. These guidelines form the basis of the Risk Assessment and Operating Procedures governing simulated altitude exposure conducted within the Altitude UL. 3. Simulated Altitude: UIAA differentiates the isobaric atmospheric oxygen (normobaric hypoxia) equivalent of low altitude to be % (corresponding to m), moderate altitude % (corresponding to m and high altitude % (corresponding to m). 4. Simulated Altitude is advantageous compared to normal altitude as it does not expose the subject to a change (decrease) in atmospheric pressure (hypobaria). Procedure for Residential Simulated Altitude Acclimation (SAA): To benefit from short term exposure to simulated altitude current US Olympic Committee guidelines recommend an exposure of 12-16h per day for a period of 2-4 weeks at a simulated altitude of between 2100 and 2500m. Within a normal 24h day, this is readily achieved by residing in a conditioned environment at rest and at sleep. The procedure for Simulated Altitude Acclimation (SAA) is a staged process that progressively increases either the degree of hypoxia (i.e. altitude) and/or the duration of exposure to hypoxia. The procedures adopted in this risk assessment follows current best practice (Chapman 2011, USOC International Altitude Training Symposium) as follows: i. Subjects are pre-screened for suitability by the NGB Medical Officer or GP using the PRESAA questionnaire (attached) and provided with a Personal Altitude Passport (PAP attached) in which the time spent in simulated altitude exposure is recorded. The passport also contains details of any potential reaction to altitude exposure, known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which is recorded and logged (see note 1) November 2011 Page 6

7 ii. Daily assessment of symptoms of AMS by SARRS questionnaire, resting SaO 2, heart and breathing rate will be undertaken. Should the subject or the Altitude Centre Staff note any undue signs of distress or adverse reaction as indicated by the SARR reports then the subject will be removed to a lower altitude. iii. subjects will reside within the altitude house for a period of up to 4 weeks; iv. the altitude house will be 'conditioned' to maintain the required altitude from 6pm to 8am; v. bedroom altitude will be set at 1700m for day 1-3 rising 300m to 2000m for days 4-14 to 2300m for day and to 2600m for days (see note 2) vi. The following measurements may be obtained prior to and/or during the period of SAA. a. A blood sample for haematological analysis (Approved Procedure SS023, SS024); b. A measurement of cardiopulmonary function (Approved Procedures SS033, SS037, SS062); c. A urine sample for the measurement of hydration status. Notes: 1. Acute mountain sickness (AMS) if the unacclimatized person sleeps at this altitude. Beside AMS there is normally no risk to any person who does not have severe cardiopulmonary illness or severe anaemia. The SARRS questionnaire is based on the Lake Louise Score for the monitoring of Acute Mountain Sickness (Roach RC, Bartsch P, Oelz O, et al.; Lake Louise Consensus Committee. The Lake Louise acute mountain sickness scoring system. In: Sutton JR, Houston CS, Coates G, eds. Hypoxia and molecular medicine. Burlington, VT: Charles S. Houston, 1993: ) According to the Lake Louise scoring system, a score of 3 or more in the presence of a headache fulfils the diagnosis of AMS. 2. As per the IUAA guidelines, an increase in degree of hypoxic exposure (Altitude) is permissible following the recommended 3-day period of Acclimation Source: November 2011 Page 7
