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.

Thank you so much for this incredible knowledge......even after my 6 yrs of mbbs carrier, i have never seen this kind of practical knowledge, very simple and problem solving, no other useless theoretical information, Arjun sir has more knowledge of AMS, Altitude sickness, HAPE, HACE than any doctor....thank you so much both of you.......👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌, One day i will trek with india hikes.
Thank you, coming from a doctor, that means a lot! We're glad it is practical and helpful!
The video was very informative. Thanks for educating us on HACE.
I don't do hiking... But watching every episode jst bcoz of swathi ma'am.. She is outstanding in her anchoring.
Clear so many doubts!! Very informative video!! Keep em coming
Hi swathy I am from tamilnadu , I thank you for the useful video of hace and may I get an appointment with Arun Doctor pl..
Nice video thank you
Swathi please upload a video about hape also in detail
Wouldn't it make more of an impact if you brought a medical professional or a doctor along with arjun to do similar videos on HACE, HAPE, AMS etc? I am sure a lot of doctors would be trekking with Indiahikes. I feel having a doctor on board will give you much more credibility.
Hi Somil we would be happy to have a doctor to talk to. But this kind of expertise requires a whole lot of experience and time at high altitude. True, we have many trekkers who are doctors, but we have found that our trek leaders are better equipped with knowledge and know-how of altitude sickness to handle cases on treks. So unless the doctor is a high altitude medicine expert (there are just a handful of these), it's not possible for me to get one on board for an interview. It's a very very niche field! If you know of somebody, do let me know. :)
Hello Swathy. I agree with you that its a niche field . I shall be on the lookout for someone with such expertise and will notify you if I find someone like that.
Thanks fr sharing .....
Many time I feel the feel of vomiting only all d time and not any headache and after that i can't eat properly and it remains all d time in my 4/5 days trek period .. why ?
What actually cases it? Is it the cold or lack of oxygen or something else?
The reason behind such a condition is HACE - High Altitude Cereberal Edema. You can read more about it here: indiahikes.com/altitude-sickness-ams-hape-hace/
How about carrying oxygen?
My question is that iam a scout we are going on a full karnataka camp hike what r the things which i should take a what should i do if i get fever or unconsciousness due to sun(uv ray)what should i do at that time? And please
Hi Prafulla if you are trekking in the South, the sun can be quite harsh. The best thing to do is wear a cap at all times and keep yourself well hydrated. Glucose water or Electral helps a lot in this! Apart from this, carry dry fruits such as raisins and dates. That will keep you energised. These are steps to prevent yourself from being affected by the sun.

Stupid question incoming : Do your fitness level affect the chances of getting hace ...
Hi there! That's not actually a stupid question. Many people do have this question. But fitness and altitude sickness are not related. Even the fittest of our trekkers have been hit by AMS. Even those who are unfit have been hit. There's really no proven co-relation.
