Die H\u00f6henkrankheit kann von der leichten Akuten Bergkrankheit (AMS) bis zum lebensbedrohlichen H\u00f6henhirn\u00f6dem und H\u00f6henlungen\u00f6dem reichen. Die Symptome aller drei Formen \u00fcberschneiden sich jedoch erheblich. AMS ist die h\u00e4ufigste Form der H\u00f6henkrankheit und ist daher ein guter Ausgangspunkt f\u00fcr das Verst\u00e4ndnis der H\u00f6henkrankheit. AMS ist die h\u00e4ufigste - und daher auch am besten erforschte - Form der H\u00f6henkrankheit.<strong> Schauen wir uns das mal an!<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Die Symptome von AMS treten wie folgt auf <strong>ab 3000m \u00fcber dem Meeresspiegel<\/strong> wo der verf\u00fcgbare Sauerstoff auf etwa 68% abf\u00e4llt. Als begeisterter Trekker habe ich die Berge Nepals, den Himalaya, zweimal besucht. Bei meiner ersten Expedition machte ich mich, schlecht vorbereitet und uninformiert, auf den Weg in die Annapurna-Region. Auf dem Gipfel des Poon Hill in 3140 m H\u00f6he, als sich der Boden unter mir zu drehen begann, mein Kopf pochte und meine Sicht verschwamm, machte ich einen schnellen Abstieg zur\u00fcck auf Meeresh\u00f6he und musste die Reise abbrechen. Das AMS hatte mich \u00fcbermannt.<br\/>\n<br\/>Diese Erfahrung lie\u00df mich etwas besorgt auf die n\u00e4chste geplante Reise in die Mount Everest Region blicken, um den Drei-P\u00e4sse-Trek in Angriff zu nehmen. Ich war mir bewusst, dass es zwar ungef\u00e4hr <strong>die H\u00e4lfte der Wanderer<\/strong> die in dieser Region innerhalb von f\u00fcnf Tagen in H\u00f6hen \u00fcber 4000 m wandern <strong>AMS entwickeln<\/strong>, 84% derjenigen, die direkt auf 3860 m fliegen, sind in irgendeiner Weise betroffen. Ich war entschlossen, die Sache diesmal in den Griff zu bekommen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Wir w\u00fcrden \u00fcber 10 Tage lang zwischen 5000 und 5600 m \u00fcber dem Meeresspiegel wandern, ein deutlicher Sprung \u00fcber die H\u00f6he, die ich bei meiner vorherigen Wanderung erreicht hatte, wo die Sauerstoffverf\u00fcgbarkeit auf etwa 50% sank. Diese Reise wollte ich auf keinen Fall abk\u00fcrzen, denn ich wollte jeden einzelnen Schritt auf diesem Weg erleben! Und ich bin froh, berichten zu k\u00f6nnen, dass <strong> indem Sie diese 5 einfachen Ma\u00dfnahmen ergreifen <\/strong> Um AMS zu verhindern, habe ich genau das getan.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Hydratation<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Mit zunehmender H\u00f6he steigt auch das Risiko der Dehydrierung. Dies liegt daran, dass die Lunge in der H\u00f6he mehr Wasserdampf verliert, weil <strong>die Atmung wird schneller<\/strong> wenn die Sauerstoffkonzentration sinkt. Wenn dann noch der hohe Energieaufwand beim Trekking und die oft begrenzten Wasservorr\u00e4te hinzukommen, wird eine Dehydrierung immer wahrscheinlicher.<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie <strong>3-4 l pro Tag trinken <\/strong>beim Trekking in H\u00f6henlagen \u00fcber 3000 m.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verzichten Sie auf harntreibende Mittel wie Koffein und Alkohol<\/strong> in der H\u00f6he, um die Auswirkungen der H\u00f6he nicht zu verschlimmern. Studien deuten darauf hin, dass ein Standardgetr\u00e4nk in der H\u00f6he die Wirkung von zwei Getr\u00e4nken im Vergleich zur Meeresh\u00f6he hat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Langsam angehen<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Damit sich der K\u00f6rper akklimatisieren kann, ist es wichtig, ihn schrittweise h\u00f6heren H\u00f6henlagen auszusetzen. Die Akklimatisierung ist zwar bei jedem Menschen anders, aber eine allgemeine Regel lautet <strong>nicht mehr als etwa 300-500 m H\u00f6henunterschied<\/strong> pro Tag hat sich als hilfreich erwiesen, um AMS zu vermeiden.

As a trekking enthusiast, I have visited the mountains of Nepal, the Himalayas, twice. On my first expedition, ill prepared and uninformed, I set off hiking in the Annapurna region. At the summit of Poon Hill, at 3140m, as the ground began to spin beneath me, my head was thumping and my vision blurred, I made for a fast decent back to sea level and had to cut the trip short. AMS had got the better of me.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;This experience had me slightly apprehensive about the next trip planned into Mount Everest Region to tackle the Three Passes Trek.

There was no way this trip was being cut short as I wanted to experience every single step of that trail! And I\u2019m happy to report that \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; by taking these 5 simple measures \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; to prevent AMS I did just that.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Hydration\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;As altitude increases, so too does the risk of dehydration.

However, the symptoms for all three significantly overlap. AMS is the most prevalent therefore it\u2019s a great place to start in understanding altitude sickness. The most common of these \u2013 and therefore well researched \u2013 is AMS.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; Let\u2019s have a look!\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Symptoms of AMS are seen to develop \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;from 3000m above sea level\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; where available oxygen drops down to approximately 68%. As a trekking enthusiast, I have visited the mountains of Nepal, the Himalayas, twice. On my first expedition, ill prepared and uninformed, I set off hiking in the Annapurna region. At the summit of Poon Hill, at 3140m, as the ground began to spin beneath me, my head was thumping and my vision blurred, I made for a fast decent back to sea level and had to cut the trip short. AMS had got the better of me.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;This experience had me slightly apprehensive about the next trip planned into Mount Everest Region to tackle the Three Passes Trek. I was well aware that while approximately \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;half of the trekkers\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; who walk to altitudes above 4000m in this region within five days \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;develop AMS\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;, 84% of those who fly directly to 3860m are affected in some way. I was determined to get a handle on it this time.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;We would be trekking for over 10 days between 5000-5600m above sea level, a definite leap above the height I\u2019d climbed to on my previous trek where oxygen availability would drop to approximately 50%. There was no way this trip was being cut short as I wanted to experience every single step of that trail! And I\u2019m happy to report that \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; by taking these 5 simple measures \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; to prevent AMS I did just that.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Hydration\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;As altitude increases, so too does the risk of dehydration. This is due to the higher rate of water vapour lost from the lungs at altitude because \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;breathing becomes more rapid\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; as oxygen concentration lowers.
