Due to his worsening condition, Global Rescue medical operations personnel initiated a helicopter field rescue from Mount Everest Camp 2 to a hospital in Kathmandu. The member was successfully transported to the hospital where he was examined and diagnosed with High-altitude cerebral edema and HAPE. Hospital officials admitted him for observation. He was discharged the following day for follow-up treatment at a hospital at his home of record.
