It affects the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart. Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. In most cases the symptoms are mild, but in severe cases fluid collects in the lungs (pulmonary edema) causing extreme shortness of breath and further decreasing oxygenation. Swelling may also occur in the brain (cerebral edema), causing confusion, coma, and, if untreated, death. The likelihood and severity of altitude illness is greater with increasing rate of ascent, higher altitude attained, and higher levels of exertion.

Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening medical emergency that will lead to true death within minutes. Causes In healthy adults, cardiac arrest is often caused by ventricular fibrillation during a heart attack. The resultant lack of blood supply results in cell death from oxygen starvation and to the death of the individual if resuscitation procedures are not carried out within minutes.

Home Medical Reference Outdoor Health / Safety High-Altitude Cerebral Edema High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is the medical term for a disorder (theoretically linked to brain swelling) that involves an alteration of mental status seen at high altitude, related to diminished atmospheric oxygen. Symptoms include difficulty walking (inability to walk a straight line, staggering, or frank inability to walk), headache (often throbbing), confusion, difficulty in speaking, drowsiness, vomiting, and, in severe cases, blindness, unconsciousness, paralysis, and/or coma. A victim may suffer from HACE and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) at the same time. Other symptoms may include hallucinations, paralysis of an arm and/or leg, and seizures. Victims are often gray or pale in appearance. Imbalance or the inability to walk heel to toe in a straight line is a very worrisome sign and should prompt immediate action to treat the victim. The treatment for HACE is immediate descent to an altitude below one at which the victim previously had no symptoms, and the

Search We subscribe to the HONcode principles. Verify here Risk factors for cerebral edema in children with diabetic ketoacidosis Introduction Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs in 25 to 40 percent of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus and may later recur in association with illness or noncompliance with treatment. Clinically apparent cerebral edema occurs in approximately 1 percent of episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis in children and is associated with a mortality rate of 40 to 90 percent. Cerebral edema is responsible for 50 to 60 percent of diabetes-related deaths in children. The pathophysiologic mechanism underlying the cerebral edema associated with diabetic ketoacidosis is controversial. In this case–control study of children with diabetic ketoacidosis, researchers evaluated the associations between cerebral edema and the following factors: demographic characteristics and initial biochemical characteristics, therapeutic interventions, and changes in biochemical values during treatment. Methods of evaluation Various studies on Subjects Cerebral-Edema Group Researchers identified all the children in whom cerebral edema related to diabetic ketoacidosis developed between 1982 and 1997 at any of 10 pediatric centers. To identify these children, the records of all the children who had been admitted because of diabetic ketoacidosis and whose records indicated that they had had cerebral edema, cerebral infarction, coma, seizures, or death, or that they had undergone computed tomographic scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, intubation, or treatment with mannitol were reviewed. The records of all children who died at 10 centers during the study period were also reviewed to ensure that no cases of cerebral edema related to diabetic ketoacidosis had been missed.

Recognition and Treatment of Cerebral Edema Complicating Diabetic Ketoacidosis CPSP resource article published September 2000 Investigators : S. Muirhead, MD, E. Cummings, MD, and D. Daneman, MD Introduction Although early mortality is very low in children and teens with type 1 diabetes, DKA accounts for up to 80% of all deaths. In the largest CE case series (N=69), the outcome was death in 64%, severe disability in 13%, mild disability in 8.6% and intact survival in only 14.5%. Several case reports suggest that subclinical CE may be a common occurrence both before and during DKA treatment. Clinically significant edema may occasionally be present at the time of presentation of the child with DKA to the hospital, but CE generally develops 2 to 24 hours after initiation of DKA treatment. Risk factors for cerebral edema during DKA There is increased representation of and those with new onset diabetes in reports of CE during DKA. There is no convincing evidence that initial acid-base status, glucose, electrolytes or effective osmolality are useful predictors of CE. Thus, all paediatric DKA patients should be presumed to be at risk, independent of initial biochemical parameters.
