High-altitude Medicine and Pathology


Add your own review!

Overview

This is a detailed account of the problems of coping with exposure to high altitude. The features of acclimatization in humans are examined, with chapters devoted to the effects of high altitude on the cardiopulmonary and digestive systems, sleep, fertility and pregnancy, infection and allergy, athletic performance, and cerebral function. There are also detailed descriptions of the various high altitude diseases. As well as being of practical significance to those clinicians accompanying or responsible for climbers, tourists, soldiers, athletes and astronomers at high altitude, this revised edition has a broad scientific appeal, with current information on hyperbaric treatment of acute mountain sickness, the new syndromes of subacute mountain sickness in Tibet and India, and cancer in the Andes.
