TREATMENT Potential therapeutic options for AMS and HACE include the following.

Descent
Descent remains the single best treatment for AMS and HACE, but it is not necessary in all circumstances (discussed further later in the text). Individuals should descend until symptoms resolve unless terrain, weather, or injuries make descent impossible. Symptoms typically resolve after descent of 300 to 1000 m, but the required decrease in altitude varies among individuals. Individuals should not descend alone, particularly if they are experiencing HACE. Recommendation. Descent is effective for any degree of AMS/HACE and is indicated for individuals with severe AMS, AMS that fails to resolve with other measures, or HACE. Recommendation Grade: 1A
