“…La permanencia en la Costa, a nivel del mar, varió entre 3 y 60 días; la resolución radiológica y mejoría clínica fue rápida (48 horas) y no hubo fallecidos en la serie. En general, nuestros hallazgos son concordantes con los estudios realizados previamente en otras regiones del Perú (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) .…”

Objetivo: Describir algunas características epidemiológicas y clínicas del edema agudo de pulmón por mal de altitud (EAP) observadas en un hospital de Áncash (3052 m s. n. m.). Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo de 57 pacientes, quienes se presentaron en el Servicio de Emergencia del Hospital Víctor Ramos Guardia -Huaraz entre enero de 1997 y enero del 2020. Todos cumplieron con los criterios diagnósticos de Lake Louise y una radiografía del tórax. La información se analizó mediante los usos de mediana y rango.

“…What awoke the North American medical community to HAPE as a distinct entity, with possible tragic consequences, was Houston's paper in 1960. 31 Further reports rapidly followed, 1,36,37,56,59 including clarification of the circulatory dynamics, 19,38 which indicated that HAPE was not primarily due to left ventricular failure. Altitude illness, including HAPE, became a major problem for the Indian Forces during the Sino-Indian conflict 1962-64, and the Indians contributed to our knowledge through their extensive experience with the disease.…”

“…Although attention in the literature has been particularly directed to pul monary oedema (for example: Houston i960; Alzamora-Castro, Garrdo-Lecca & Battilana 1961;Hultgren, Spickard, Hellriegel & Houston 1961;Hultgren, Spickard & Lopez 1962) the author has noted a number of instances of gravita tional oedema at altitude. Characteristically the most striking feature is orbital and facial oedema on rising in the morning.…”

Studies related to the body’s regulation of its sodium and potassium content have been made on a number of occasions during periods spent at high altitude. It is shown that on ascent from usual levels of residence the ratio of sodium to potassium in the saliva tends to rise above normal and later to fall with continued residence at altitude. The implications of this finding have been confirmed by subsidiary studies. The urinary aldosterone excreted while resident at altitude has been assayed and it has been shown to fall to very low levels. In contrast to what occurs with 17-hydroxycorticosteroids there appears to be a delay in the fall of urinary aldosterone although this has still to be confirmed by further studies which are in course of preparation. With continued residence at high altitude the urinary aldosterone level recovers but complete recovery takes several weeks. Published data are reviewed and it is concluded that these results are due to the changes in intravascular volume which occur on ascent to an environment of reduced p 0 2 . It is probable that the significant volume changes are intrathoracic.
