E aʻo hou kākou e pili ana i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe, nā pilikia e hele mai me ka hele ʻana i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.

Makemake mākou a pau e hele i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe e like me Nuwara Eliya, Horton Plains, Piduruthalagala, a piʻi i nā mauna, ʻeā? Akā i kekahi manawa ke hele ʻoe, ke manaʻo nei ʻoe i kahi ʻeha poʻo iki, kahi manaʻo nāwaliwali, a me kahi manaʻo luaʻi? ʻOiai he nui ka poʻe e manaʻo nei he "malia paha ma muli o ke anu" a i ʻole "malia paha ma muli o ka luhi o ka huakaʻi", he ʻano maʻi kēia e hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ma ke ʻano lapaʻau. I kēia lā ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kēia ʻano i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Altitude Sickness'. Inā ʻike pono ʻoe i kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolilo i kāu huakaʻi mauna aʻe i mea nani a palekana.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he aha ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe?

E noʻonoʻo i ka wā e noho ana mākou ma ka ʻilikai, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma kahi e like me Colombo, ʻo ka ea a mākou e hanu ai ua like ia me ke kī waiū mānoanoa. Hāʻawi kēlā i ko mākou kino i ka oxygen lawa i hoʻokahi hanu ʻana. Akā i ko mākou piʻi ʻana i luna, ʻo ia hoʻi, i kahi e like me Nuwara Eliya a i ʻole Horton Plains, e lahilahi ka lewa. ʻO ia hoʻi, e "lahilahi" ka ea me he mea lā ua hoʻohui ʻia ka wai i kēlā kī waiū mānoanoa. No laila, ʻoiai mākou e lawe ana i ka nui like o ka hanu, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka nui o ka oxygen i loaʻa i ko mākou kino.

He mea kupaianaha ko kākou kino. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kēia nele o ka oxygen. Akā, he manawa iki ia. Hiki mai ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe ke hele koke mākou i kahi kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻole o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ko mākou kino i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai. I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ua like ia me ka "haʻalulu" i ke kino.

Aia he 3 mau ʻano nui o kēia.

ʻEkolu ʻano nui o ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe, ma muli o kona koʻikoʻi. He mea nui e makaʻala i kēia mau mea, no ka mea, pono kekahi mau kūlana i ka mālama olakino ulia pōpilikia.

He aha nā hōʻailona o kēia maʻi?

ʻAe, e nānā kākou i nā hōʻailona o kēia maʻi. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻike ʻia nā hōʻailona o ka AMS i loko o hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha lā ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kahi kiʻekiʻe. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā hōʻailona o nā maʻi ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi e like me HAPE a me HACE ke hala i ʻelua a ʻelima mau lā e ʻike ʻia ai.

Nā ʻano o kahi kūlana AMS maʻamau

Eia nā hōʻailona mua maʻamau:

• ʻEha poʻo: ʻO kēia ka hōʻailona maʻamau a me ka mua.
• Ka luaʻi a me ka luaʻi ʻana: Manaʻo paha ʻoe e luaʻi me kou nalowale o ka makemake e ʻai.
• Anorexia: Ka nalowale ʻana o ka makemake a pau e ʻai.
• Luhi loa: Manaʻo nui i ka luhi ʻoiai inā ʻaʻohe hana.
• Malaise: He manaʻo nui o ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻole, e like me "ʻaʻole pololei kekahi mea."
• ʻIke ʻole: Ke huli a huli nei i ka pō me ka ʻole o ka hiamoe.
• Dizziness: Manaʻo e like me ke wili nei kou poʻo.

Nā hōʻailona o nā kūlana HAPE a me HACE weliweli

Pono ʻoe e makaʻala loa i kēia mau hōʻailona. Inā ʻike ʻoe iā lākou, he mea nui e hele koke i kahi haʻahaʻa a ʻimi i ke kōkua lapaʻau .

ʻO wai ka mea i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia?

ʻO ke kumu nui o kēia, e like me kā mākou i kūkākūkā ai ma mua, ʻo ia kou piʻi wikiwiki ʻana i ke kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻole o ka hāʻawi ʻana i kou kino i ka manawa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai. Akā aia kekahi mau kumu pilikia ʻē aʻe:

• Ke kiʻekiʻe o ka piʻi ʻana: ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o kou piʻi ʻana, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe aʻe o ka pilikia.
• Ka wikiwiki o ka piʻi ʻana: ʻOi aku ka nui o ka pilikia no ka mea e hele i kahi kiʻekiʻe i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ma ke kaʻa a i ʻole ka mokulele, ma mua o ka mea e piʻi i ka mauna ma ka wāwae.
• Ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka waiʻona a me kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau: ʻO ka inu ʻana i ka waiʻona, ʻoiai nā lāʻau hoʻomaha, hoʻonui nui i ka pilikia.
• Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kēia ʻano ma mua: Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe ma mua, ʻoiai ʻo HAPE a i ʻole HACE, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa hou ʻana iā ʻoe.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai?

ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau wale nō a maikaʻi loa no kēia, ʻo ia ke iho i lalo. Ke nele ke kino i ka oxygen, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ke hele i kahi me ka oxygen hou aku.

Ma waho aʻe o kēlā, aia kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe ma muli o ke kūlana:

1. E kū a hoʻomaha: Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻailona mua o AMS, e hoʻōki koke i ka piʻi ʻana i luna.E hoʻomaha no hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha lā ma ke kiʻekiʻe like me ʻoe. E hāʻawi i kou kino i ka manawa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i kēlā kiʻekiʻe.

2. Iho ʻana: Inā koʻikoʻi nā hōʻailona (pīhoihoi, luhi, nausea) a i ʻole e ʻoi aku ka ʻino, e iho koke i lalo. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻike ʻia kahi hōʻoluʻolu nui ma hope o ka iho ʻana ma kahi o 1,000 kapuaʻi (300 mika) .

3. Oxygen Pākuʻi: ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka oxygen mai kahi pahu oxygen hiki ke hōʻemi koke i nā hōʻailona.

4. Nā lāʻau lapaʻau: Hoʻohana ʻia kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau ma ke ʻōlelo aʻo a ke kauka. ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia no kēia ʻo Acetazolamide . Eia kekahi, i nā hihia koʻikoʻi e like me HAPE a me HACE, hoʻohana pū ʻia nā lāʻau lapaʻau e like me Dexamethasone a me Nifedipine . Mai lawe i kēia me ke kauoha ʻole a ke kauka.

Pehea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke pale aku i kēia? (Kāohi ʻana)

Hiki ke pale ʻia ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe. Aia kekahi mau mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana e pale aku ai. E hoʻomanaʻo i kēia mau mea i ka wā e hoʻolālā ai i kāu huakaʻi mauna e hiki mai ana.

Āhea ʻoe e ʻike ai i ke kauka?

Inā ʻoe e hoʻolālā ana i kahi huakaʻi i kahi mauna kiʻekiʻe, he mea naʻauao ke kamaʻilio me kāu kauka ma mua o kou hele ʻana . Hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kūikawā, ʻoiai inā he mau maʻi ʻē aʻe kou.

I ka manawa hea e hele ai i kahi Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU):

Inā ʻike ʻoe a i ʻole kekahi mea āu e pili ana i kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona koʻikoʻi, he pilikia ia. E iho i lalo a i ka lumi pilikia o ka haukapila (ETU) i ka hikiwawe loa.

• Ka pōkole nui o ka hanu ʻoiai i ka wā e hoʻomaha ai.
• Ka ʻūmiʻi a i ʻole ka ʻeha o ka umauma.
• Ka paʻakikī i ka hele wāwae, ka hina ʻana, ka nalowale o ke kaulike (ataxia).
• Ka huikau a i ʻole ka nalowale o ka hoʻomanaʻo.
• Ka paʻakikī o ka ʻōlelo ʻana, ka slurring o nā huaʻōlelo.
