SRTC CONED NIGHT: Altitude Emergencies  

🗓️ Date: 14 September 2026

Speaker: Jason Tartalone  NRP, NCEE, FAWM, FAEEM

 

This course provides an overview of the recognition, assessment, and management of common altitude-related illnesses, including Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High-Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE), and High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Students will explore risk factors, signs and symptoms, prevention strategies, field treatment priorities, and evacuation considerations.

Altitude illness is not just a mountaineering problem. It can affect hikers, skiers, hunters, wilderness responders, wildland firefighters, aviation personnel, recreational travelers, and anyone rapidly traveling to higher elevations. With increased access to high-altitude destinations, these emergencies are more common than many providers realize. Be prepared to recognize altitude illness before a routine trip becomes a serious medical emergency.

 

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 3:00PM EST ON THE DAY OF THE CLASSES. THE CLASS REMINDER AND LOGON INFORMATION WILL BE SENT NO SOONER THAN 12:00 EST ON THE DAY OF THE COURSES.
