Abstract

To provide guidance to clinicians about best practices, the Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) convened an expert panel to develop evidence-based guidelines for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of acute mountain sickness, high altitude cerebral edema, and high altitude pulmonary edema. Recommendations are graded based on the quality of supporting evidence and the balance between the benefits and risks/burdens according to criteria put forth by the American College of Chest Physicians. The guidelines also provide suggested approaches for managing each form of acute altitude illness that incorporate these recommendations as well as recommendations on how to approach high altitude travel following COVID-19 infection. This is an updated version of the original WMS Consensus Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Altitude Illness published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine in 2010 and the subsequently updated WMS Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Altitude Illness published in 2014 and 2019.

荒野医学会急性高原疾病预防、诊断和治疗临床实践指南：2024更新。

为了向临床医生提供最佳实践指导，荒野医学会（WMS）召集了一个专家小组，制定预防、诊断和治疗急性山地病、高海拔脑水肿和高海拔肺水肿的循证指南。根据美国胸科医师学会提出的标准，根据支持证据的质量以及收益与风险/负担之间的平衡对建议进行分级。该指南还提供了管理各种形式的急性高原疾病的建议方法，其中包括这些建议，以及关于新冠肺炎感染后如何进行高空旅行的建议。这是2010年发表在《荒野与环境医学》上的原始WMS急性高原疾病预防和治疗共识指南的更新版本，以及随后更新的2014年和2019年发表的WMS急性海拔疾病预防和处理实践指南。
