 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Progress in high altitude pulmonary edema Of: Li Suzhi, Wang Hongbin, Choi Chi, Zheng Bihai [Abstract] analysis of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE experimental study on treatment progress, the highest frequency of use of aminophylline, the best efficacy in reducing pulmonary hypertension better than nifedipine, in the absence of aminophylline in the case, NO treatment of choice HAPE, application of sodium nitroprusside, captopril, nifedipine should pay attention to monitoring blood pressure. of severe HAPE treatment should take comprehensive measures in order to achieve satisfactory results. [Key Words] high altitude pulmonary edema, treatment, progress The original pulmonary edema (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, HAPE quick access to the plateau of human (referring to more than 3,000 meters above sea level or from the plateau into the higher altitudes, hypoxia caused by a series of physiological and pathological changes in the body due to a plateau special disease, The significant clinical features of severe hypoxemia, cyanosis, dyspnea, cough sputum pink foam, moist rale, prognosis and changes quickly, the rescue is not timely, often life-threatening patient safety. HAPE pathogenesis although not entirely clear, but most scholars believe that with the body’s susceptibility to pulmonary blood flow, pulmonary hypertension, increased pulmonary vascular permeability, alveolar sodium and water storage on the removal of obstacles remain closely related to [1]. Our country is up to altitude sickness occur country, after 50 years of exploration, in the treatment of HAPE, accumulated rich experience and valuable information, the cure rate by the 20th century, 50 to 60 years of 80% to the current 99%, over the past decade 1 death not occurred, a world leading level. We have HAPE catheterization on hemodynamics, lung biopsy pathology, alveolar lavage, cardiopulmonary vasoactive substances are explored in the pathogenesis of some pr
