abstract：INTRODUCTION:Scuba diving involves risks, and candidates in Australia usually have a medical evaluation prior to undertaking a diving course. Hyperbaric physicians act as secondary referral practitioners for these assessments. This study aimed to identify reasons for these secondary referrals, and document the assessme...

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Running out of air, buoyancy problems and rapid ascents are known risk factors for diving morbidity and mortality. The effects of the diving environment and equipment and the influence of individual diver characteristics on these risks were studied. METHODS:Between 1995 and 2004, Project Dive Exploration ...

abstract：:Exposure to hyperoxia is associated with oxidative stress and is known to cause inflammation in the lung and the airways. Exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FENO) is a marker of some inflammatory processes in the lung and airways, and is reduced immediately after a single session of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) exposure. ...

abstract：:It has been shown that a single bout of exercise performed 20 hours prior to hyperbaric exposure reduces bubble formation and increases survival in rats. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are stress proteins expressed in cells that are exposed to different stressors. HSPs are known to protect cells, by binding to proteins an...

abstract：:Basic life support (BLS) in a diving bell (DB) or deck decompression chamber (DDC) is difficult due to the confined space and limited equipment. Retrieval of the unconscious diver into the DB requires the use of a pulley system. Once inside the bell, space limitations dictate that any resuscitative efforts are attempt...

abstract：:It is increasingly common for recreational scuba divers to use breathing mixtures enriched with additional oxygen ('nitrox' or 'enriched air nitrogen') and for technical divers to be exposed to elevated partial pressures of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oxyge...

abstract：:Two cases are presented of divers suffering epileptic seizure and loss of consciousness as a result of probable cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE). Both cases had apparently problem-free dives with no obvious provocation for CAGE, though one case may have been having repeated embolisms for some time in their diving...
