Acute high-altitude sickness.
At any point 1-5 days following ascent to altitudes ≥2500 m, individuals are at risk of developing one of three forms of acute altitude illness: acute mountain sickness, a syndrome of nonspecific symptoms including headache, lassitude, dizziness and nausea; high-altitude cerebral oedema, a potentially fatal illness characterised by ataxia, decreased consciousness and characteristic changes on m...
متن کاملAltitude decompression sickness susceptibility: influence of anthropometric and physiologic variables.
INTRODUCTION There is considerable variability in individual susceptibility to altitude decompression sickness (DCS). The Air Force Research Laboratory Altitude DCS Research Database consists of extensive information on 2980 altitude exposures conducted with consistent procedures and endpoint criteria. We used this database to quantify the variation in susceptibility and determine if anthropome...
متن کاملHigh-altitude headache and acute mountain sickness.
INTRODUCTION Headache is the most common complication associated with exposure to high altitude, and can appear as an isolated high-altitude headache (HAH) or in conjunction with acute mountain sickness (AMS). The purpose of this article is to review several aspects related to diagnosis and treatment of HAH. DEVELOPMENT HAH occurs in 80% of all individuals at altitudes higher than 3000 meters...
متن کاملcharacteristics of headache at altitude among trekkers; a comparison between acute mountain sickness and non-acute mountain sickness headache
purpose headache at altitudes has had an incidence of 25-62% through many related studies. many reasons are identified concerning headache at altitudes such as acute mountain sickness (ams), sinus headache, migraine, tension type headache, and frontal tension headache. this study tried to compare different types of headache among trekkers on mount damavand, a 5671m mountain, iran, to find their...
متن کاملSea level and acute responses to hypoxia: do they predict physiological responses and acute mountain sickness at altitude?
OBJECTIVES To compare a range of physiological responses to acute sea level hypoxia at simulated altitudes with the same physiological responses and acute mountain sickness (AMS) scores measured at altitude (similar to the simulated altitudes) during a 17 day trek in the Himalayas. METHODS Twenty men and women aged 18-54 years took part in the study. End tidal CO(2) tension (PETCO(2)) and sat...
