  • Altitude Sickness in Nepal Is About 1 in 30,000 Trekkers, Or 2-3 Deaths Per Year
    Shoreland Travax Medical Summary ALTITUDE ILLNESS INTRODUCTION Altitude illness occurs when one ascends more rapidly than the body can adjust ("acclimatize") to the reduced atmospheric pressure and decreased oxygen delivery to the body's cells at the higher altitude. Factors affecting acclimatization include the altitude attained, the rate of ascent, the duration of exposure, genetic predisposition, and certain preexisting conditions. (See "Acclimatization," "Risk," and "Effect of High Altitude on Preexisting Medical Conditions.") Altitude illness is generally divided into 3 syndromes: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). See "Syndromes and Symptoms." Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. Although mild symptoms have been documented at relatively low altitudes of 1,200- 1,800 m (3,900-5,900 ft), serious syndromes are rarely seen below 2,500-3,000 m (8,200-9,800 ft). While death can occur from the more severe forms of altitude illness, most symptoms can be prevented or minimized by proper acclimatization and/or preventive medications. Risk and prevention strategies vary depending on the type of travel planned: travel to typical tourist destinations at relatively moderate heights or trekking in extreme high altitude situations. See "Risk of Altitude Illness" and "Prevention." ACCLIMATIZATION Acclimatization is a built-in adjustment mechanism that can optimize performance at higher altitudes. If a person ascends more rapidly than the body can adjust, symptoms occur that are referred to as altitude illness. Acclimatization seems to be determined by factors that are not known but may possibly be genetic. Some people adjust very easily to high altitude, while others cannot go above relatively moderate heights of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) without experiencing symptoms.

  • Stingray Bay: Media Kit
    STINGRAY BAY: MEDIA KIT Stingray Bay has been the talk of the town! What is it? Columbus Zoo and Aquarium guests and members will now have the opportunity to see stingrays up close and to touch these majestic creatures! The Stingray Bay experience will encourage visitors to interact with the Zoo’s brand new school of stingrays by watching these beautiful animals “fly” through the water and dipping their hands in the water to come in contact with them. Where is located? Located in Jungle Jack’s Landing near Zoombezi Bay, Stingray Bay will feature an 18,000-gallon saltwater pool for stingrays to call home. Staff and volunteers will monitor the pool, inform guests about the best ways to touch the animals and answer questions when the exhibit opens daily at 10 a.m. What types of stingrays call Stingray Bay home? Dozens of cownose and southern stingrays will glide though the waters of Stingray Bay. Educational interpreters will explain the role of these stingrays in the environment. Stingrays are typically bottom feeders with molar-like teeth used to crush the shells of their prey such as crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. I’m excited to touch the stingrays, but is it safe? Absolutely! The rays barbs have been carefully trimmed off their whip-like tails. The painless procedure is similar to cutting human fingernails. Safe for all ages, the landscaped pool features a waterfall and a wide ledge for toddlers to lean against when touching the rays. This sounds cool! How much does it cost? Admission to Stingray Bay is free for Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Gold Members and discounted for Members.

  • Altitude Sickness
    Altitude Sickness Team River Runner hosted their National Conference and Swiftwater Rescue Training out West this year. It was a great place to visit and our hosts: TRR Boise and Pilgrim’s Cove couldn’t have been more accommodating. Several participants came from low lying areas – near sea level including myself. Some attendees and myself as well experienced: • Headache • Loss of normal appetite • Nausea • Insomnia • General Fatigue We each came up with different conclusions on why we were experiencing these symptoms, in my case possible motion sickness, dehydration, etc. None of us thought Altitude Sickness may be contributing to our malaise. It wasn’t till after the conference when several of us that live near sea level and were experiencing the above symptoms figured out that a mild form of Altitude Sickness was a highly probably diagnosis. Part of my job is Risk Management so it’s well worth considering this possibility and precautions we should consider whenever traveling to locales that can trigger these issues. Most whom take Wilderness First Aid courses are taught the magic cutoff: 2400m or roughly 8,000’ (Red Cross says 7,000’). McCall Idaho is roughly 5,000’, roughly a mile high. It turns out that the 8,000’ cutoff is actually for: • HACE – High Altitude Cerebral Edema • HAPE – High Altitude Pulmonary Edema High Altitude per Wilderness EMS is actually from 1,500m to 3,500m, or starting at 4,921’ (roughly the altitude where we were staying at). A good guide is the Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) Scoring System (LLS).

  • Altitude Sickness Fact Sheet
    Altitude Sickness Fact Sheet At high elevation, you may experience a potentially life threatening condition called altitude sickness. This is exacerbated if you ascend in elevation quickly. At 8,000 feet, there is only ~75% of the available oxygen at sea level. Oxygen decreases ~3% with each 1000 feet in elevation. Altitude sickness is caused by the body not being able to get enough oxygen. There are three types of altitude sickness: Acute Mountain Sickness, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, and High Altitude Cerebral Edema. SYMPTOMS Acute Mountain Sickness • Lack of appetite, nausea, or vomiting • Fatigue • Dizziness • Insomnia • Shortness of breath upon exertion • Nosebleed • Persistent rapid pulse • Swelling of hands, feet, and/or face High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) • Symptoms similar to bronchitis • Persistent dry cough • Fever • Shortness of breath even at rest High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) • Headache that does not respond to medication • Difficulty walking • Altered mental state (confusion, changes in alertness, disorientation, irrational behavior) • Loss of consciousness • Increased nausea • Blurred vision or retinal hemorrhage PREVENTION If your hike starts at high elevation, spend a few days adjusting to the altitude prior to any major physical exertion. It is best to sleep no more than 1,500 feet (457.2 m) higher than you did the night before. This helps the body adjust gradually to the decreased amount of oxygen. Contact your primary care physician for an evaluation prior to travelling to areas with high elevation. FIRST AID TREATMENT If you have any of these symptoms at altitude, assume that it is altitude sickness until proven otherwise. Do not ascend any further with symptoms.
