High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a lethal, noncardiogenic form of pulmonary edema that afflicts susceptible individuals after rapid ascent to high altitude above 2,500 m. Prevention of HAPE is achieved most effectively by gradual ascent allowing time for proper acclimatization. Certain prophylactic medications may further reduce the risk of ascending to high altitude in individuals with a prior history of HAPE. The most effective and reliable treatment of HAPE is immediate descent and administration of supplemental oxygen.
高原肺水肿（HAPE）是一种致命的非心源性肺水肿，在快速上升到海拔2500米以上的高海拔地区后，易感个体易患此病。预防高原肺水肿最有效的方法是逐步上升，留出适当的时间进行适应性调整。某些预防性药物可能会进一步降低有高原肺水肿病史的个体上升到高海拔地区的风险。治疗高原肺水肿最有效、最可靠的方法是立即下降并给予补充氧气。
