This second section of a 2-part review on high-altitude-related disorders focuses on strategies for prevention of high-altitude illness, identification of populations at increased risk for high-altitude illness, and effects of high altitude on selected chronic medical conditions. Practical aspects of advising and educating patients traveling to high altitude will be discussed, with special reference to pregnant women, infants and young children, healthy elders, and chronic medical conditions that may place persons at greater risk for high-altitude illness. The special concerns of pre-verbal children will be covered relative to the risks of high altitude for those too young to voice symptoms of illness and, thus, at-risk for potential serious consequences caused by delay in diagnosis and treatment.
这篇关于高原相关疾病的两部分综述的第二部分重点关注预防高原病的策略、识别高原病高危人群以及高原对特定慢性疾病的影响。将讨论为前往高原地区的患者提供建议和教育的实际问题，特别提及孕妇、婴幼儿、健康老年人以及可能使人们患高原病风险更高的慢性疾病。对于尚不能言语的儿童，将探讨其特殊问题，因为这些儿童太小无法表达疾病症状，因而有因诊断和治疗延误导致潜在严重后果的风险。
