A Canadian member required field rescue from K2 in Pakistan after she began suffering from high-altitude sickness. One of the expedition guides contacted Global Rescue and said the member’s symptoms included headache, weakness, decreased appetite, and diarrhea over the past several days. Her condition worsened to the point where she required assistance with basic tasks and struggled to maintain her balance. Despite taking Diamox, her symptoms – shortness of breath, dry cough and constant shivering – did not improve. A doctor in the expedition group suggested further evaluation, possibly considering a bacterial infection. Global Rescue physicians reviewed the initial information and recommended helicopter evacuation to a lower elevation for medical assessment. The member was successfully transported to a hospital in Skardu for evaluation and treatment. Her condition improved after receiving appropriate treatment, and she was subsequently discharged.
