High-altitude medicine

ZONE OF KNOWLEDGE

I. An alpinist should not set out without preparation.

II. If you don't have cells and a first aid kit, then you shouldn't be heading to the mountains.

III.The first overnight stay below 2500m, the next ones every 300-500m, after 1000m REST, acclimatization is THE BEST.

IV.In English, it's AMS, and in Polish – mountain KAC it is.

V.If you're still coughing, wheezing in your lungs, choking even while sitting, PULMONARY EDEMA threatens the alpinist, descend quickly before the hour slips away.

VI.If he is sleepy, talks nonsense, or keeps falling while walking, suspect BRAIN EDEMA, quickly flee from altitude.

VII. If he is sleepy, talks nonsense, or keeps falling while walking, suspect HYPOTHERMIA, it's time to warm up your friend.

VIII. (FOR MEN): If you want to warm up a woman, wear an NRC under your helmet.

IX. (FOR WOMEN):If a guy grinds his teeth, wrap the dude in a black bag.

X.If you frostbite your toe once, it will always be a problem thereafter.

XI. If you refreeze a frostbitten part, say goodbye to it, my friend.

XII. If your urine is dark, you will soon lose STRENGTH.

XIII. With a strong filter, put on sunglasses, because UV burns the retinas.

XIV.Mountains are not for fools; mountains like MacGyvers (applicable in every situation).

XV. COMMANDMENT OF WISDOM: If you have health problems, it's time to descend to the shelter.

XVI. COMMANDMENT OF LOVE:Take care of your companion as you do of yourself, my friend.
