High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening disease of high altitude that often affects nonacclimatized apparently healthy individuals who rapidly ascend to high altitude. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are essential to maintain the safety of people who ascend to high altitude, such as construction workers and tourists. In this paper, I discuss various methods and criteria that can be used for the early diagnosis and prediction of HAPE. I also discuss the preventive strategies and options for on-site treatment. My objective is to improve the understanding of HAPE and to highlight the need for prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment of HAPE to improve the safety of individuals ascending to high altitude.
高原肺水肿（HAPE）是一种危及生命的高原疾病，常影响那些迅速登上高原的未适应环境的貌似健康的个体。早期发现、早期诊断和早期治疗对于保障登上高原的人群（如建筑工人和游客）的安全至关重要。在本文中，我讨论了可用于HAPE早期诊断和预测的各种方法及标准。我还讨论了预防策略和现场治疗的选择。我的目的是增进对HAPE的了解，并强调预防、早期诊断和早期治疗HAPE对于提高登上高原个体安全性的必要性。
