High-altitude illness, which usually occurs at altitudes of over 1,500 m (4,921 ft), is caused primarily by hypoxia but is compounded by cold and exposure. It presents as one of three...

2023年7月17日 · High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a severe form of high-altitude illness that, if left untreated, can lead to mortality in 50 percent of affected individuals. It occurs secondary to hypoxia, and is a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. It is characterized by fatigue, dyspnea, and a dry cough with exertion.

HAPE, or HACE should not be excluded solely based on the fact that an ill individual is below 2500 m. These diag-noses should be strongly considered in the presence of com-patible clinical features, with careful attempts to exclude other problems, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, hypo-glycemia, hyponatremia, pneumonia, severe dehydration,

2019年12月1日 · Travel to elevations above 2500 m is associated with risk of developing 1 or more forms of acute altitude illness: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).

2023年7月17日 · High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) HAPE is the most common cause of fatality due to high altitude illness. HAPE is a separate illness from AMS/HACE but often occurs simultaneously, confounding the clinical picture. HAPE Diagnosis: dyspnea at rest plus cough/rales/fever

Altitude illness is a broad category of disease encompassing acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) that can affect persons who travel to altitude without adequate acclimatization.

2023年7月17日 · High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) is a fatal form of severe high-altitude illness. HAPE is a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema that occurs secondary to hypoxia.
