Putting someone, down is the best way to treat plateau disease, but this is not easy. “Prevention is crucial because once these changes occur at such extreme heights, it is difficult to help someone lower the altitude,” Weiss said. He said that climbing downhill is more difficult than climbing up because it is often necessary to increase coordination and technical capacity. Other factors, such as depletion, dehydration and insufficient supply of oxygen, can increase the difficulty. People who experience altitude sickness may also be trying to walk, or they may be unconscious, Weiss said.
Some medications may help prevent and treat partially the buildup of fluid in the brain, but in the treatment of ineffective pulmonary fluid accumulation. Supplemental oxygen may help, but not always available.
In Nepal, in 1989, Weiss and his colleagues at Stanford University Dr. Kenza Fulun were also the first to test people who might otherwise treat people with severe disease on the plateau known such as gamma packs. It looks like a sleeping bag enclosed like an inflatable bag that can essentially create a low atmosphere for the people inside. Use a foot pump to inflate the bag and produce a higher pressure externally. The degree to which this bag can be simulated depends on where it is used. According to a manual provided by the American Mountain Guide Association, at the top of Mount Everest, it can simulate about 9,195 feet (2800 meters) of blood. Weiss said the bag was helpful, but it was not practical to use it at the summit of Everest because it was almost 13 pounds. (6 kg) requires a lot of physical effort to expand and maintain inflation at extreme altitudes. We need better preparation for the any disease.
