We sought to determine if optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), a surrogate measure of ICP, is increased in high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Five HAPE patients (one with a codiagnosis of high altitude cerebral edema [HACE]) treated at the Himalayan Rescue Association clinic in Pheriche, Nepal (4240 m), underwent optic nerve sheath ultrasonography (ONSU) at admission to determine ONSD. Results were compared to ONSD in 32 control subjects at the same altitude without evidence of altitude illness. Four of the five HAPE patients underwent repeat ONSU at discharge. All exams were read by two blinded observers. The mean ONSD for HAPE patients on presentation was 5.7 +/- 0.44 mm and for controls was 4.7 +/- 0.56 mm (p = 0.003). Excluding the patient with a coexistent clinical diagnosis of HACE, mean ONSD at presentation for the other four HAPE patients was 5.7 +/- 0.50 mm and was significantly different from controls (p = 0.007). In the four HAPE patients with repeat exams, ONSD decreased by 17% +/- 15% (95% CI 4-30%) between admission and discharge. We conclude that HAPE is associated with increased ONSD, a surrogate measure of increased ICP. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study is aimed to determine whether short or prolonged residency at high altitude (HA) elicits erythropoietin (EPO) secretion effectively in subjects who were able to acclimatize and those who were not able to acclimatize and suffered from acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). METHODS: Plasma EPO was measured in 16 lowland residents (LLR) at sea level (SL) and during 11 d of their sojourn at an altitude of 3450 m. Identical studies were also conducted in LLR acclimatized to HA (LLR-accl), high altitude natives (HAN) and in patients of AMS and HAPE. RESULTS: In LLR at SL, the mean +/- SD EPO levels were 8.93 +/- 3.75 mU x ml(-1), increased significantly after 8 h (20.0 +/- 11.06) of arrival at HA, peaked by day 1 (27.91 +/- 10.74 mU x ml(-1)), and started declining thereafter. The hemoglobin and hematocrit also increased after 8 h of arrival at HA and the increased levels were maintained during sojourn at high altitude. The EPO levels in LLR-accl were found to be significantly higher than the LLR SL values, but were not significantly different in HAN. The EPO levels in patients of AMS were not significantly different than the LLR values during the initial 2 d after arrival at HA but were found to be increased in patients of HAPE. CONCLUSION: Short or prolonged residency at HA is associated with increased secretion of EPO. The EPO response to hypoxia is not significantly altered in AMS but is markedly enhanced in HAPE, which may be due to exaggerated hypoxemia in these patients. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Altitude illness is a broad category of disease encompassing acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) that can affect persons who travel to altitude without adequate acclimatization. Initial symptoms of AMS and the more serious HACE or HAPE can be subtle, and it is important that the practitioner be able to recognize and differentiate between these diagnoses because they can progress rapidly and be fatal if untreated. There are well-established criteria and many proven therapies both for prophylaxis and treatment of altitude illness; however, despite intense research efforts, the specific mechanisms of these complex diseases remain elusive. Adequate acclimatization via controlled ascent remains the most important factor in preventing altitude illness, although prophylactic pharmacotherapy also may be useful. Rapid descent remains the most important treatment factor, although treatment at altitude with various therapies is possible for mild cases with adequate resources. 相似文献

High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) affects unacclimatized individuals ascending rapidly to high altitude. The pathogenesis of HAPE is not fully elucidated, and many investigative techniques that could provide valuable information are not suitable for use in humans; thus, an animal model is desirable. Rabbits, sheep, dogs, and ferrets have been shown not to consistently develop HAPE, and studies in rats are limited by the animal's small size and inconsistent response. Pigs develop a marked pulmonary vasoconstrictive response to hypoxia, and preliminary studies of HAPE in pigs have been promising. To determine the suitability of pigs as an animal model of HAPE, we exposed six subadult (20 to 25 kg) pigs to normobaric hypoxia (10% oxygen) for 48 hr. One week before, and immediately after exposure to hypoxia, under anesthesia, arterial blood gases were obtained and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and chest x-ray were performed. Hypoxia increased alveolar-arterial pressure difference for oxygen from 22 +/- 9 to 38 +/- 5 torr, p < 0.01) and red cell (from 12.3 +/- 5.9 to 27.4 +/- 5.3 cells x 10(5)/mL(-1), p < 0.001) and white cell (from 1.59 +/- 0.90 to 7.88 +/- 3.36 cells x 10(5)/mL(-1), p < 0.05) concentrations in BAL in all animals. Total BAL protein concentration increased by 64% and fractional albumin by 38% (both p < 0.05) posthypoxia. One animal had evidence of pulmonary edema on X ray. Some pigs develop findings consistent with early HAPE when exposed to normobaric hypoxia. Increasing the duration of hypoxic exposure or exercising the animals in hypoxia may better model the disease process observed in humans with clinically significant HAPE. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Ascent to high altitude is associated with alterations in lung function. The mechanisms of these changes and whether they reflect early stages of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) has been debated. Therefore, we investigated the time course of pulmonary function in relation to hemodynamics and clinical symptoms in mountaineers ascending rapidly to high altitude. METHODS: In 26 unacclimatized subjects we assessed spirometry, single-breath nitrogen washout, diffusing capacity (DLCO), and Doppler echocardiography in Zurich, 490 m, after climbing within 24 h to Monte Rosa, 4559 m, and after one night at 4559 m. RESULTS: Mean (+/- SD) FVC fell from 103 +/- 9% predicted in Zurich to 96 +/- 10% predicted at 4559 m, FEV1/FVC increased from 0.82 +/- 0.06 to 0.84 +/- 0.08, and closing volume increased from 0.35 +/- 0.14 to 0.44 +/- 0.11 L above residual volume (P < 0.05, all changes). On the following day at 4559 m, closing volume remained elevated in 9 of 21 subjects who had a lower DLCO but similar pulmonary artery systolic pressures compared with the remaining 12 subjects (40 +/- 8 vs 43 +/- 7 mm Hg, P = NS). None of the subjects had overt HAPE. CONCLUSION: We conclude that changes in pulmonary function after rapid ascent to high altitude were consistent with interstitial fluid accumulation, but they were not related to changes in pulmonary artery pressure. Individual lung function responses to high-altitude exposure varied largely and did not predict subsequent HAPE. 相似文献

Well-recognized medical threats at high altitude (>2,500 m) include acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). Thousands of travelers in the Himalayas are exposed annually to these often life-threatening syndromes. Their recognition and treatment has advanced considerably in recent years. In the Himalayas, we frequently see acute medical problems outside the setting of AMS and the two types of altitude edemas. Many of these other conditions are also hypoxia related and sometimes may mimic the classic high altitude illnesses of AMS, HAPE, and HACE. Although the vast majority of these medical problems are neurological, pulmonary and other organ system dysfunction also occur. These "non-high altitude sickness" disease entities in persons who sojourn to remote mountainous environments are reviewed in this paper to enhance their recognition, diagnosis, and treatment. 相似文献

血常规、血气及血生化改变在高原肺水肿早期诊断中的意义 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
目的对血常规、血气及血生化改变在高原肺水肿(HAPE)早期诊断中的意义进行探讨。方法应用急性高原反应症状评分表,对24200例急进高原人员进行评分,筛选出高度疑似HAPE患者作为重点观察及随访对象,并给予卧床休息及吸氧。对所有重点观察及随访对象的血常规、血气及血生化(含电解质、肝功、肾功)变化情况进行检测分析。结果重点观察对象中,确诊HAPE组进入高原第1、2、3d的血白细胞总数(WBC)及中性粒细胞比率(N)均显著高于非HAPE组(P〈0.01);两组血气结果比较,HAPE组氧分压(PaO2)、二氧化碳分压(PaCO2)、动脉血氧饱和度(SaO2)及氧合指数(FiO2/PaO2)在进入高原第1、2d均显著低于非HAPE组(P〈0.01),HAPE组pH值显著高于非HAPE组(P〈0.01);两组血生化比较,HAPE组除钾(K^+)第2d显著低于非HAPE组外,各指标均无显著差异。结论早期白细胞计数增加及低氧血症持续性进行性加重与HAPE的发病有着密切的关系,加强疑似HAPE患者早期血常规及动脉血气的监测,有利于HAPE的早期诊断。 相似文献
