Altittude
Illness Prevention and Treatment
Stephen
Bezruchka MD
Published
by the Mountaineers
This
very small book will fit into a back pocket and contain crucial
information on altitude illness. It describes altitude illnesses
but more importantly gives practical advice for those at altitude
who may be worried that they might be affected. The algorithms for
diagnosing altitude in yourself and others could be potentially
lifesaving.
Our
clinic strongly recommends this book to all trekkers, mountaineers,
and even recreational skiers who may find themselves at altitude.
