A member from Uruguay needed a medical evacuation from Dingboche, Nepal to a medical facility capable of a higher level of care. Global Rescue medical operations personnel were notified that a member at a hotel near Mount Everest Base Camp started experiencing headache, nausea, fatigue, nasal congestion, cough, fever, difficulty of breathing and an elevated heart rate. The member’s medical history included hypothyroidism, a condition that can increase metabolism with symptoms that include rapid or irregular heartbeat. During an initial examination at a local health clinic, medical staff diagnosed the member with a respiratory infection and HAPE. Global Rescue medical operations doctors advised that the member’s condition warranted descent to a lower elevation and admission to a medical center capable of a high level of care and a recommendation for high flow oxygen. Global Rescue personnel initiated an airborne medical transport of the member to a hospital in Lukla where she arrived safely and was diagnosed with post-AMS status. After receiving treatment, the member’s condition improved sufficiently. She was discharged to her hotel where she continued her recovery before her return flight home.
