A 63-year-old member from Crown Point, United States, had recently summited Uhuru Peak at approximately 19,340 feet/5,895 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro and was descending toward Kosovo Camp at approximately 15,980 feet/4,870 meters when she fell and struck the back of her head. She remained alert and oriented with no loss of consciousness but developed a severe headache and a 5 centimeter laceration on the back of her head. Her bleeding was controlled, her oxygen saturation was 88 percent with a heart rate of 90 beats per minute, and she received ibuprofen and supplemental oxygen before continuing to Kosovo Camp. Due to the mechanism of injury and concern for head trauma, the operations team approved a helicopter evacuation to a hospital in Moshi. Poor weather delayed the airlift, so she descended to Barafu Camp and was successfully evacuated later that day. Her wound was closed with stitches at the hospital, she was discharged with medications and continued her recovery at a hotel while awaiting her return flight home.
