Acute mountain sickness is a condition affecting otherwise healthy individuals on going rapidly to altitude. It is caused by sub-acute hypoxia in susceptible subjects. Its study may provide lessons for the more complicated situation of hypoxia in patients undergoing intensive care. This paper reviews the incidence and aetiology of acute mountain sickness, pulmonary and cerebral oedema of high altitude and possible mechanisms are discussed. Prophylaxis depends on an awareness of the condition in all those venturing to high altitude and guidelines are suggested. The treatment of the established condition is reviewed.
急性高原病是一种影响原本健康的个体迅速前往高海拔地区时出现的病症。它是由易感人群中的亚急性缺氧引起的。对其研究可能为重症监护患者更复杂的缺氧情况提供经验教训。本文回顾了急性高原病的发病率和病因，讨论了高原肺水肿和脑水肿以及可能的机制。预防取决于所有前往高海拔地区的人对该病症的认识，并提出了指导方针。对已确诊病症的治疗也进行了回顾。
