Clinician's Corner: What Do We Know About Safe Ascent Rates at High Altitude?
Author: A.M. Luks
Slow ascent to high altitude is important in reducing the incidence of altitude-related diseases such as Acute Mountain Sickness and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema. This clinically-oriented article reviews the state of current knowledge.
Visual Analogue Self-Assessment of Acute Mountain Sickness in Adolescents: Experience from Two Himalayan Expeditions
Authors: M.E. Slingo, F.S.J. Lowe, A.R.P. Pieri, C.H. E. Imray, and The British Schools Exploring Society
Acute Mountain Sickness is the commonest medical problem at high altitude but assessing its severity can be challenging. In this study a visual analogue scale was compared with the traditional Lake Louise self-report score in adolescents and although the visual technique had some advantages the authors concluded that the traditional Lake Louise technique is preferable.
High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the first peer-reviewed journal focused exclusively on the latest advances in high altitude life sciences, and is the primary source of information for clinicians, physiologists, and researchers studying the effects of reduced atmospheric pressure and oxygen deprivation.
