Pharmacological control of altitude sickness
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1991Acute mountain sickness has long been recognized as a potentially life-threatening condition afflicting otherwise healthy individuals who ascend rapidly to high altitude, where the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is reduced. The symptoms of acute mountain sickness are probably a consequence of disturbances in fluid balance brought about by severe

The interest in mountain tracking and climbing has increased and there is a need for knowledge of altitude-related diseases. About one million non-acclimatized individuals annually frequent areas around 2,000 to 3,000 m above sea level and incur unpleasant symptoms in the form of acute altitude sickness or potentially fatal conditions such as pulmonary
