Altitude Illness

Altitude-related conditions can range from mild and discomforting to severe and life-threatening. EMS is in a unique position to assist in these cases as evacuation is not simply getting patients to treatment; evacuation; specifically, descent from the affecting elevation and hypoxic environment is the treatment. Join us as we explore the several different altitude ailments that you may encounter if you travel above 6000ft!
