A U.S. member trekking on Aconcagua was experiencing signs and symptoms of AMS, possible food poisoning and ataxia. Global Rescue medical operations personnel and physicians with Extreme Medicine agreed the member’s condition merited an immediate transport off the mountain and arranged for a helicopter evacuation. She was safely transported by air and ground to a hospital in Mendoza where she was treated with paracetamol and confirmed with Global Rescue operations that her condition was improving. She planned to continue her recovery at her hotel until her return flight home.
