Most of us have either suffered from Acute Altitude Sickness or we're close to someone who has suffered from it.
For many of us, its as easy as hydrating, getting oxygen, replacing electrolytes, refraining from drinking, getting enough sleep, and/or going back to lower elevation.
This story from this past week near Aspen raises our attention to the real dangers of Acute Mountain Sickness.
Signs point to this 20 year old woman dying from acute altitude sickness while hiking with her friends.
I have talked to Dr David Polaner about his article RE: Acute Mountain Sickness, which he presented during an ESA event several years ago. He has given me permission to post the article here, which is a good reference

Dr David Polaner is continuing his research as a pulmonologist and will be updating his article in the future.
