Actor Kim Ok-bin was shown lying down with altitude sickness in the Andes Mountains in the SBS entertainment show `Jungle Rice 2" (hereinafter Peruvap"), which aired on the 3rd. Kim Ok-bin collapsed in the village of Misminai, Peru, 3,718 meters above sea level.
Earlier, other Peruvian Bob members, including Choi Hyun-suk, Ryu Soo-young, and Choi Daniel, also complained of pain due to breathing difficulties and dizziness, but in the case of Kim Ok-bin, symptoms worsened and eventually stopped filming. To Kim Ok-bin, the team doctor advised him to fast for at least 24 hours and drink water and fluids little by little because his physical strength is reduced due to dehydration symptoms.
Acid disease, which occurs in highlands above 2,400 meters above sea level, is an acute reaction that occurs when the body fails to adapt due to lack of oxygen.
Although it varies from individual to individual, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, and fatigue are typical. The higher the place, the lack of oxygen, which leads to a lack of oxygen inhalation during breathing, and various body changes occur due to increased breathing to compensate for this.
Continuous monitoring is important because a drop in oxygen saturation below 60% can have fatal effects on the brain and heart. In a stable state, pulse is 110 times per minute and breathing is more than 20 times per minute, and if you stumble when walking, you should suspect altitude sickness.
In order to prevent altitude sickness, it is important to rise slowly when climbing highlands, and it is most effective to go down when symptoms occur. If necessary, oxygen is supplied or drugs are used, and if oxygen is available, it is recommended to inhale 2 to 3 liters of oxygen per minute.
