This textbook represents a definitive effort to codify treatment modalities for mountain medicine that were previously fragmented. It covers a broad range of topics including trauma management, high-altitude pulmonary edema, frostbite, and accidental hypothermia. The content is structured into sections covering epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, and acute interventions. It also introduces specialized clinical research findings like isolated altitude-induced psychosis and details technical aspects of mountain rescue, including ground-based operations, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), and the latest rescue technologies.
