Fatigue Loss of appetite Sleepiness Weakness Apathy, and headache HAPE- High altitude pulmonary edema, Fluid on the lungs Climbing above 8000 ft too quickly. Lethal if not treated. Same symptoms as MAS White or red(bloody) mucus when coughing. Weakness Short of breath. Can start as low as 4000 ft. called mid altitude sickness. HACE- High altitude cerebral edema Fluid on the brain Inability to walk a straight line Change in consciousness, Impaired judgment. Water Deprivation Dehydration, losing of body water, hypohrdration, levels too low. Thirst may be absent at altitude. Blisters Don't get them, and treat them asap. Snakes- overhead Insects Tick removal Poisonous plants
General Considerations for the SAR Casualty
Use common sense Remain calm Always hope for the best, but presume the worst. Never perform something you are unsure of. Never move a seriously injured person, unless they are in danger from the environment, or for medical reasons. Don't allow a person to "walk it off" Never approach and injured person from above. Re-evaluate at regular intervals. Keep lots of notes. Have a witness to remove restrictive clothing and jewelry, and place the objects in a safe place. Remember: if nothing else, do no more harm.
