What is HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) and how do you treat it?

High Altitude Cerebral Edema or HACE is an advanced form of altitude sickness. At Indiahikes, we've been noticing many high altitude trekkers struggling from HACE and not knowing what to do. This video is an instructional video about HACE, how to identify the symptoms and how to treat it. Without proper treatment, HACE turns fatal within hours. So it's important to act quickly, much before HACE has actually hit you.

Please note that we have not included equipment like oxygen cylinders in the video because not all trekkers have access to this equipment on a trek. We are only talking about three basic medicines, Diamox (Acetazolamide), Dexamethasone and Nifedipine.

The instructions in the video are based on real-life experiences and years of high altitude studies. Download the video onto your phone to make better use of it on your trek.
