Risk of decompression sickness in extreme human breath-hold diving.
The risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in human breath-hold diving is expected to increase as dives progress deeper until a depth is reached where total lung collapse stops additional nitrogen gas uptake. We assembled a database of all documented human breath-hold dives to 100 metres or greater, including both practice and record dives. Between 1976 and 2006 there were 192 such dives confirme...
متن کاملWhy predominantly neurological decompression sickness in breath-hold divers?
It has been widely believed that human free divers were immune to decompression sickness because the only inert gas added during a breath-hold dive is the nitrogen (N2) that remains in the lungs from the inhalation before submerging. However, there has been anecdotal evidence from case reports of divers suffering neurological symptoms after repeated free dives. In breath-hold divers of the Tuam...
متن کاملDecompression sickness in breath-hold diving, and its probable connection to the growth and dissolution of small arterial gas emboli.
We solved the Laplace equation for the radius of an arterial gas embolism (AGE), during and after breath-hold diving. We used a simple three-region diffusion model for the AGE, and applied our results to two types of breath-hold dives: single, very deep competitive-level dives and repetitive shallower breath-hold dives similar to those carried out by indigenous commercial pearl divers in the So...
متن کاملOcular tear film bubble formation after breath-hold diving.
Bubbles in the ocular tear film have been observed following both dry-chamber, simulated compressed air dives and in-water, recreational compressed air dives. The current paper reports on the formation of tear film bubbles in a breath-hold diver following repeated, extended breath-hold excursions to a maximum depth of -28.5 m. It is believed that this is the first time that ocular tear film bub...
متن کاملObservation of increased venous gas emboli after wet dives compared to dry dives.
INTRODUCTION Testing of decompression procedures has been performed both in the dry and during immersion, assuming that the results can be directly compared. To test this, the aim of the present paper was to compare the number of venous gas bubbles observed following a short, deep and a shallow, long air dive performed dry in a hyperbaric chamber and following actual dives in open water. METH...
