A young teenage member was exhibiting symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) while on Mount Kenya (17,057 feet/5,199 meters). Excursion leaders contacted Global Rescue and reported the member was unable to walk and had to be carried down the mountain while experiencing nausea, severe vomiting, abdominal cramps, dehydration and overall weakness. Global Rescue medical operations team leaders initiated an airborne medical emergency field rescue, and the member was successfully transported to a hospital in Nanyuki, Kenya, where he was diagnosed with gastroenteritis and a potential case of AMS. He received antibiotics and IV fluids and was discharged with medications and a scheduled follow-up appointment for the next day. The member and his family stayed in a hotel where his condition continued to improve.
