What Is New in Altitude- and Cold-Related Illnesses of Travel: Appraisal and Summary of the Updated Guidelines from the Wilderness Medical Society
Wilderness medicine is a rapidly evolving field and has benefited from expanded research efforts. Moreover, with an escalating occurrence of severe and cataclysmic global climatologic events, human illness arising from interaction with wilderness and recreational environments warrants increasing consideration. Within the last decade, the Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) has aggregated research findings and created guidelines on prevention measures and therapeutic options for acute altitude illness, frostbite injuries, and avalanche and non-avalanche snow burials. As new research emerges, some guidelines have been updated to reflect the most current and sound scientific conclusions. In this review, we have synthesized the evidence-based guidelines and have reviewed the quality of the guidelines according to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II framework. Further research efforts can expand the scope of evidence-based practice in travel medicine and ideally standardize the implementation of recommendations within both pre-travel and post-travel medical practices.
