HIGH ALTITUDE PULMONORY
EDEMA (HAPE)
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
•High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)
Risk factors
Pathophysiology
High Altitude Pulmonary Edema(HAPE)
• High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-
cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
• Occurs in otherwise healthy people at altitudes typically above 2,500 meters (8,200 ft).
• Cases have also been reported between 1,500–2,500 meters or 4,900–8,200 feet in
more vulnerable subjects.
• Classically, HAPE occurs in persons normally living at low altitude who travel to an
altitude above 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).
• Re-entry HAPE is also an entity that has been described in persons who normally live at
high altitude but who develop pulmonary edema after returning from a stay at low
altitude. It is severe presentation of altitude sickness.
• HAPE remains the major cause of death related to high-altitude.
Risk factors
• Rapid rate of ascent
• A history of HAPE
• Respiratory tract infections
• Excessively cold environmental conditions
• Men are more susceptible than women
• People with abnormalities of the
cardiopulmonary circulation leading to
pulmonary hypertension. For e.g. Mitral
stenosis, Primary pulmonary hypertension.
• Patent foramen ovale has also been shown to
increase the risk of HAPE
Pathophysiology
• HAPE is characterized by patchy pulmonary
hypoxic vasoconstriction that leads to
overperfusion in some areas.
• This in turn to increased pulmonary capillary
pressure (>18 mmHg) and capillary “stress”
failure.
• The exact mechanism for this hypoxic
vasoconstriction is unknown.
• Endothelial dysfunction due to hypoxia may play
a role by impairing the release of nitric oxide.
• Exercise and cold lead to increased pulmonary
intravascular pressure and may cause HAPE
• Hypoxia triggered increase in sympathetic
drive may lead to pulmonary
venoconstriction and extravasation into
the alveoli.
• Inflammatory processes such as those
elicited by a viral respiratory infection are
shown to cause HAPE.
• impaired transepithelial clearance of
sodium and water from the alveoli.
