High-altitude illness is a collective term for a cluster of acute clinical syndromes that directly consequence from rapid ascent to high altitude, viz., above 2500 m. The acute syndromes affecting the brain include acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE). The current practice of high altitude medicine requires a deep knowledge of existing evidence. However, knowledge of the field is continuously evolving, and there are many gaps in the existing literature as well as areas of controversy despite existing research in the area. Each chapter begins with a real case from the author's clinical practice. After each case, a question is asked to allow the reader to reflect on clinical management before reading the answer and consolidating knowledge from experts in the field. They also focus on the standard practice of management and diagnosis, emphasizing evidence-based care when available as well as areas of uncertainty andactive debate in the medical literature.Written by experts in the field, High Altitude Medicine offers the most up-to-date knowledge about high altitude medicine that is not only useful for physicians at high altitude dedicated centers but also medical providers at different levels of their careers, especially emergency and urgent care physicians who are the ones that initially see the patient.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the use of oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that improves the body's natural healing process. The patient inhales 100% oxygen in a total body chamber where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. Today, patients are treated in either monoplace chambers or multiplace chambers. Physicians learn at the bedside through “teaching moments” encountered when interacting with patients. The majority of the available products do not replicate this approach. A conventional textbook is formatted in a hierarchical and linear fashion, and newer web-based resources are informative and non-hierarchical but do not address information in a practical, patient-focused approach. The optimal way to learn is to see the aspects of management demonstrated in a clinical context. Hence, the approach of this text will use case presentations, which are illustrative of key management principles. Additionally, principles of management can be divided into conventional management and into aspects of care which are more controversial. Written by experts in the field, Evidence-Based Hyperbaric Medicine provides evidence-based, practical, helpful information for anyone involved in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It covers the physiologic principles that constitute the basis for understanding the basic principles, clinical implications and treatment applications. Different applications of HBOT are discussed as well as recent advances, research and new therapeutic approaches.
