  • hyperbaric therapy and Diving Medicine hyperbaric therapy part 2 adjuvant therapy
    Anasthesiologie Intensivmedizin Notfallmedizin Schmerztherapie, 2015
    Co-Authors: Kay Tetzlaff, Bjorn Juttner
    Abstract:

    Die hyperbare O2-Therapie (HBO), d. h. Atmung von reinem O2 unter erhohtem Umgebungsdruck, ist in der Versorgung des schweren Dekompressionsunfalls und der Luft- oder Gasembolie ohne therapeutische Alternative. Fur die Akutversorgung der Kohlenmonoxidvergiftung und der clostridialenMyonekrose (Gasbrand) mit einer HBO bestehen derzeit weniger eindeutige Therapieempfehlungen. Die vorliegende systematische Literaturanalyse tragt den gegenwartigen Erkenntnisstand zur Wirksamkeit der HBO zusammen, gemessen an den Kriterien klinischer Evidenz. Der 1. Teil des Artikels bewertet die Notfallindikationen Luft-/Gasembolie, Dekompressionskrankheit, Kohlenmonoxidvergiftung, Gasbrand, nekrotisierende Weichteilinfektionen, akute traumatische muskulare Ischamien und den retinalen Arterienverschluss. Der 2. Teil beschreibt weitere Indikationen der HBO als adjuvante Therapie und diskutiert, warum die Bewertung dieser Methode nach den Kriterien evidenzbasierter Medizin problematisch ist.

  • simultaneous transthoracic echocardiography and transcranial doppler ultrasonography with ultrasound contrast agents for the detection of a patent foramen ovale in Diving Medicine
    Ultraschall in Der Medizin, 2001
    Co-Authors: J Kampen, A Koch, N Struck, L Heine, Kay Tetzlaff
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE Presentation of a non-invasive method for the identification of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in screening of Diving-candidates or for the investigation of Diving accidents. METHOD Simultaneous transthoracic echocardiography and transcranial Doppler sonography of the middle cerebral artery using ultrasound contrast media. RESULTS In an unselected collective of amateur and professional divers a PFO was identified according to statistical prediction. CONCLUSION This method can be used in Diving Medicine for PFO detection as an alternative procedure to transesophageal echocardiography.

  • Pre-hospital management of decompression illness: expert review of key principles and controversies.
    'Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal', 2018
    Co-Authors: Mitchell S. J., Bennett Michael, Bryson Phillip, Frank Fk Butler, David Dj Doolette, Holm, James R, Kot Jacek, Lafere Pierre
    Abstract:

    Guidelines for the pre-hospital management of decompression illness (DCI) had not been formally revised since the 2004 Divers Alert Network/Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society workshop held in Sydney, entitled "Management of mild or marginal decompression illness in remote locations". A contemporary review was initiated by the Diver's Alert Network and undertaken by a multinational committee with members from Australasia, the USA and Europe. The process began with literature reviews by designated committee members on: the diagnosis of DCI; first aid strategies for DCI; remote triage of possible DCI victims by Diving Medicine experts; evacuation of DCI victims; effect of delay to recompression in DCI; pitfalls in management when DCI victims present at hospitals without Diving Medicine expertise and in-water recompression. This was followed by presentation of those reviews at a dedicated workshop at the 2017 UHMS Annual Meeting, discussion by registrants at that workshop and finally several committee meetings to formulate statements addressing points considered of prime importance to the management of DCI in the field. The committee placed particular emphasis on resolving controversies around the definition of "mild DCI" arising over 12 years of practical application of the 2004 workshop's findings, and on the controversial issue of in-water recompression. The guideline statements are promulgated in this paper. The full workshop proceedings are in preparation for publication.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

  • Diving Medicine a review of current evidence
    Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, 2009
    Co-Authors: James H Lynch, Alfred A Bove
    Abstract:

    Recreational scuba Diving is a growing sport worldwide, with an estimated 4 million sport divers in the United States alone. Because divers may seek medical care for a disorder acquired in a remote location, physicians everywhere should be familiar with the physiology, injury patterns, and treatment of injuries and illnesses unique to the underwater environment. Failure to properly recognize, diagnose, and appropriately treat some Diving injuries can have catastrophic results. In addition, recreational dive certification organizations require physical examinations for medical clearance to dive. This article will review both common and potentially life-threatening conditions associated with Diving and will review current evidence behind fitness to dive considerations for elderly divers and those with common medical conditions.

  • environmental physiology and Diving Medicine
    Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Gerardo Bosco, Alex Rizzato, Richard E Moon, Enrico M Camporesi
    Abstract:

    Man's experience and exploration of the underwater environment has been recorded from ancient times and today encompasses large sections of the population for sport enjoyment, recreational and commercial purpose, as well as military strategic goals. Knowledge, respect and maintenance of the underwater world is an essential development for our future and the knowledge acquired over the last few dozen years will change rapidly in the near future with plans to establish secure habitats with specific long-term goals of exploration, maintenance and survival. This summary will illustrate briefly the physiological changes induced by immersion, swimming, breath-hold Diving and exploring while using special equipment in the water. Cardiac, circulatory and pulmonary vascular adaptation and the pathophysiology of novel syndromes have been demonstrated, which will allow selection of individual characteristics in order to succeed in various environments. Training and treatment for these new microenvironments will be suggested with description of successful pioneers in this field. This is a summary of the physiology and the present status of pathology and therapy for the field.
