A U.S. member was trekking in Nepal when he contacted Global Rescue from Kumbhakarna Base Camp in Lelep to report he was suffering from frostbite on his right ring finger and the tips of his left hand. Global Rescue medical operations assessed the situation and discovered the member’s condition was worsening, as a blister became an open wound on one of his fingers and it no longer had any sensation, while his left fingertips had turned purple and were numbing. Global Rescue personnel initiated an immediate emergency helicopter rescue to transport the member to a hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, nightfall and weather conditions delayed the rescue until the next morning. Global Rescue physicians advised the member to descend to a lower altitude to help his body warm thereby providing increased oxygenation for tissue preservation. The next day, the member was successfully transported to a hospital where treating doctors diagnosed him with frostbite. He underwent a five-day iloprost treatment to improve the blood flow and increase skin tissue restoration. The member completed his treatment and reported no issues with his condition.
