Recommendations for mountain travel and altitude acclimation in pediatric populations: a French Delphi study
Objective
To develop recommendations for mountain travel and altitude acclimation for children under 3 years old by convening a committee of experts.
Methods
Using the DELPHI method, we collected proposals via email from professionals specializing in altitude and related pathologies. Experts were asked about the maximum suggested altitude and specific recommendations.
Results
Sixteen experts participated in the study. The main recommendations included a maximum altitude of 2000 meters for children under 1 year old and 2500 meters for children under 3 years old, a gradual ascent with stops every 500 meters, and careful monitoring of the child's reactions. Absolute contraindications were noted for cable car ascents in children under 1 year old, with relative contraindications for those under 3 years old. It was also recommended to consult a doctor before traveling to high altitudes if the child has a risk-related pathology and to limit winter outdoor activities to short durations with appropriate clothing.
Conclusion
This survey revealed a consensus on the recommended maximum travel altitude for children and provided various guidelines to mitigate the effects of altitude.
