What are HAPE and HACE? | High Altitude Pulmonary Edema | Cerebral Edema | Symptoms | Treatments

HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) are two advanced forms of altitude sickness. These are both serious illnesses and immediate action will have to be taken. In this video, Sandhya explains the importance of identifying the illnesses and treating them.

Please note that we have not included equipment like oxygen cylinders in the video because not all trekkers have access to this equipment on a trek. We are only talking about three basic medicines, Diamox (Acetazolamide), Dexamethasone and Nifedipine.

The instructions in the video are based on real-life experiences and years of high altitude studies. Download the video onto your phone to make better use of it on your trek.
