Does brief altitude exposure in New Zealand white rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) produce elevated intracranial pressure?
Intracranial pressure does not rise within the subdural space in rabbits during altitude exposures of 6 hours or less. Further, we are unable to draw conclusions regarding the mechanism of action of dexamethasone in the cerebral dynamics of AMS.
Octreotide may help to maintain serum albumin levels, improve clinical findings, and decrease the requirement of albumin infusions in refractory cases of primary IL.
