Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of high altitude pulmonary edema which shows increased extravascular lung water.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no ultrasound findings associated with altitude sickness. However, an ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of high altitude pulmonary edema, which include:[1][2]
- Increased extravascular lung water
