The Relationship of Scuba Diving to the Development of Aviators' Decompression Sickness
Author: Donald E. Furry

ISBN:
Category : Decompression sickness
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The additional decrease in ambient pressure which occurs when a compressed air diver flies in an aircraft within a short time after diving may be sufficient to precipitate decompression sickness, even though the dive itself was in accordance with the U.S. Navy decompression tables. The current practice by both military and civilian divers of using air transportation after compressed air diving suggests the need for specific instructions regarding the decompression required before flying after diving. In order to quantitate the importance of this problem, an experiment was designed in which large dogs were exposed to compressed air for 7 hours at their 'no-bends' pressure threshold as determined after the method of Reeves and Beckman. After pressurization, the animals were decompressed within 2-3 minutes to sea level. A sea level decompression interval of 1, 3, 6, or 12 hours was given prior to further decompression to a simulated altitude of 10,000 feet. The incidence of decompression sickness at altitude was 92.9% for the 1 hour surface decompression interval, 30% for the 3 hour interval, 27.8% for the 6 hour interval and 0% for the 12 hour interval. From these large animal studies it may be postulated that a surface decompression interval of at least 12 hours should be allowed before flying after compressed air diving of a depth and duration to require the use of diving tables.

Decompression-decompression Sickness
Author: Albert Alois Bühlmann
Publisher: Springer
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The Laboratory of Hyperbaric Physiology of the Medical Clinic of the University of Zurich came into existence in 1960 thanks to private initiative and a readiness to undertake risks; the success ful start was made possible with help from the French Navy and the United States Navy. A prerequisite for the development of the laboratory was also the benevolence of the authorities of the University of Zurich toward a research project from which scarcely any practical use could be expected for the land-locked country of Switzerland. The development of the laboratory and the systematic research were supported generously from 1964 by Shell Intemationale Petroleum Maatschappij of The Hague. The basic theme of the research was always the well-being and functional ability of the human being in an atmosphere of abnor mal pressure and or abnormal composition. Many connections became obvious with respiratory physiolo gy, circulatory physiology, and physiology at great heigts, and close contact with other special laboratories of the Medical Clin ic proved very valuable. With a relatively small number of steady collaborators it was possible to master an extensive experimental program. Special thanks are due to Mr. Benno Schenk, who as technical head was responsible for the exact performance of all the hyperbaric experiments.
