Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in avalanche victims with a single rescuer: a prospective, crossover, manikin pilot study. <i>High Alt Med Biol</i>. 25:60-67, 2024. <b><i>Background:</i></b> Winter outdoor recreational activities such as off-piste skiing have gained popularity and, as a result, the number of avalanche-related deaths has increased. However, the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at avalanche sites remains unclear. Our study compared the quality of CPR performed in a simulated avalanche burial on a snowy mountain with that performed indoors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Ten prehospital health care providers participated in the crossover pilot study. Various methods, including over-the-head CPR (OTH-CPR) and standard CPR, were used to perform avalanche resuscitation, with five rescue breaths, followed by 30 chest compressions and two breaths. The quality CPR was judged by four variables of chest compression and ventilation. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The OTH-CPR performed indoors was better in quality: 5.33% [95% confidence interval (CI) -14.2 to 3.5] higher in adequate compression depth (94.3 ± 10.6% on the snow vs. 99.3 ± 1.1% indoors), 3.4% [95% CI -16.1 to 22.9] higher in adequate compression rate (70.4 ± 38.0% vs. 76.1 ± 35.7%), and 2.3% [95% CI -6.4 to 1.72] higher in adequate recoil (96.9 ± 4.8% vs. 99.2 ± 1.6%) than OTH-CPR on the snow. In terms of ventilation quality, OTH-CPR performed indoors had a 50% higher ventilation score [95% CI -73.0 to -27.0] than OTH-CPR on the snow (1.4 ± 4.3% vs. 45.9 ± 32.6%, Cohen's <i>d</i> = -1.81). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Chest compression quality was slightly impaired in the avalanche scenarios on the snow than in indoor settings.

Transient central facial palsy at high altitude: a case report. <i>High Alt Med Biol</i>. 25:100-102, 2024.-High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a severe form of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Besides this life-threatening condition, other neurological disorders may develop at high altitude, even if the precise pathophysiological mechanisms generally remain undetermined and are often debated. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman presenting with moderate AMS during an ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. While descending from the summit, she suddenly experienced focal neurological symptoms of visual blurring, tinnitus, lightheadedness, and the findings of left-sided central facial palsy (flattened nasolabial fold, fall of labial commissure, dysarthria, difficulty in whistling, and facial dysesthesia). These symptoms and signs were confirmed in the field by a physician. Her symptoms regressed spontaneously and completely while continuing to descend. The etiology of this neurological episode at high altitude is discussed. The most probable diagnosis is a transient ischemic attack based on personal and familial vascular history, confirmed unilateral transient central facial palsy and normal results on standard blood work and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging. In this case, migraine should also be considered based on association of headache and transient focal neurological impairment. Overall, special attention should be given to mountaineers presenting with neurological conditions at altitude. Not only HACE should be considered but also the wide spectrum of other neurological conditions that fall outside the usual definition of altitude sickness.</p>","PeriodicalId":12975,"journal":{"name":"High altitude medicine & biology","volume":" ","pages":"100-102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39042707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these high-altitude environments pose risks of hypoxia, which can lead to various acute or chronic cerebral diseases. These conditions include common neurological diseases such as acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema, and altitude-related cerebrovascular diseases, as well as psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, and psychosis.

The levels of RAS, blood pressure, and <i>N</i>-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activities of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) presympathetic neurons from each group of rats were determined. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of SHRs significantly decreased from the third week of CIHH treatment. This blood pressure reduction effect could be maintained for at least 2 weeks after stopping the CIHH treatment. CIHH treatment also attenuated the decrease in MAP and renal sympathetic nerve activity induced by hexamethonium administration in SHRs, but not in WKY rats. Furthermore, CIHH reversed the increase in serum angiotensin (Ang)II concentration and the expression of PVN angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and AngII type 1 (AT1) receptors, as well as the decrease in serum Ang1-7 concentration and the expression of PVN ACE2 and Mas receptors in SHRs. In addition, the administration of CIHH resulted in a reduction in the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents and amplitude of NMDAR current in PVN presympathetic neurons of SHRs, which means that CIHH decreased the pre- and postsynaptic NMDAR activity of PVN presympathetic neurons in SHRs. However, pretreatment with A779 (a Mas receptor blocker) or AngII abrogated the above effects. Meanwhile, Ang1-7 pretreatment mimicked the CIHH effect on pre- and postsynaptic NMDAR activity of presympathetic neurons in SHRs. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Our data indicate that CIHH reduces pre- and postsynaptic NMDAR activity of PVN presympathetic neurons, sympathetic outflow, and blood pressure by decreasing the activity of the ACE/AngII/AT1 axis and increasing the activity of ACE2/Ang1-7/Mas axis in the hypothalamus in hypertension.</p>","PeriodicalId":12975,"journal":{"name":"High altitude medicine & biology","volume":" ","pages":"77-88"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139502262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
