Objective The purpose of the research is to study the distribution and early warning of electroencephalogram (EEG) in acute mountain sickness (AMS). Methods A total of 280 healthy young men were recruited from September 2016 to October 2016. The basic data were collected by the centralized flow method, the general situation of the division of the investigators after the training, the Lewis Lake score, the computer self-rating anxiety scale and depression scale, and the collection of EEG. Follow up in three months. Results 94 of the patients with AMS, morbidity is 33%, 21 (22.34%) of the patients are moderate to severe, 73 (77.66%) are mild, morbidity is 26.67%. The abnormal detection rate of electrogram was 7.9% (22/280), which were mild EEG, normal EEG abnormal rate was 8.6% (16/186), abnormal detection rate of mild AMS was 4.1% (3/73), and the abnormal detection rate was 14.3% (3/21) in the medium / heavy AMS. The latter was significantly different from the previous (P < 0.05). Three months follow-up of this group of patients with 0 case of high altitude disease. Conclusions  The EEG in AMS is mainly a rhythm irregular, unstable, poor amplitude modulation; or two hemisphere volatility difference of more than 50% or slightly increased activity. The result is statistically significant, suggesting that EEG distributions has possible early warning of AMS.
