Risk factors underlying high-altitude pulmonary edema in the Ecuadorian Andes

2021-08-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Ascent to high altitude (> 2500 m) exposes people to hypobaric atmospheric pressure and blood hypoxemia. It provokes a syndrome whose symptoms vary from the mild acute mountain sickness (AMS) to the life-threatening, high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). This study analyzed the risk for developing high-altitude sickness in a group of HAPE patients (n = 59), which was contras...
