Clinical trials: High-altitude Pulmonary Edema
Acute Mountain Sickness
A Trial of Acetazolamide Versus Placebo in Preventing Mountain Sickness During Rapid Ascent
Acute mountain sickness is a common ailment in people venturing over 2500 m altitude. Pilgrims to high altitudes are at an added risk since they are unaware and they gain height faster than the recommendations.
