چکیده

If we are using the Duocom, we initially compress to 18 msw with the intention of treating using a RN Table 62 profile of pressure and time. We have the option of going to 50 msw in deteriorating cases. On arrival in Townsville, the diver is transferred, under pressure, to the main chamber in the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit of the Townsville General Hospital (Figure 3), where the treatment profile is completed. Follow-up recompressions are conducted as is required following repeated patient assessment.

Two unusual presentations of probable decompression sickness after deep mixed-gas recreational diving.

We present two unusual presentations of decompression sickness manifesting at previous injury sites after deep mixed-gas recreational diving. While previous injury is often cited as a predisposing factor in decompression illness, formal case reports of this phenomenon are rare in the diving literature.

The nontechnical causes of diving accidents: can U.S. Navy divers learn from other industries?

Although U.S. Navy diving is remarkably safe, because of the high-risk environment in which military divers work, accidents and mishaps do occur. Failures in leadership and situation awareness (particularly in risk and time assessment) were found to be the two most common causes of fatal and nonfatal U.S. Navy diving accidents and near misses. Responses to an attitude survey showed that junior ...

Provisional Crown Dislodgement during Scuba Diving: A Case of Barotrauma

Changes in ambient pressure, for example, during flying, diving, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, can lead to barotrauma. Although it may seem that this issue was neglected in dental education and research in recent decades, familiarity with and understanding of these facts may be of importance for dental practitioners. We report the case of a patient who experienced barotrauma involving dislodgem...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on cardiac stress markers after simulated diving

Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) can protect the heart from injury during subsequent ischemia. The presence of high loads of venous gas emboli (VGE) induced by a rapid ambient pressure reduction on ascent from diving may cause ischemia and acute heart failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diving-induced VGE formation on cardiac stress marker levels and the ca...

Diving and hyperbaric ophthalmology.

Exposure of the human body to ambient pressures greater than that at sea level may result in various disorders, some of which have ocular manifestations. Additionally, some eye disorders and postoperative states may be adversely affected by the underwater environment or other hyperbaric exposures. The prevalence of recreational, military, and commercial diving, as well as the medical use of hyp...
