  • What Chamber Operators Should Know About Ear Barotrauma (And How to Prevent It) Robert Sheffield, CHT and Kevin “Kip” Posey, CHT / June 2018
    LEARN.HYPERBARICMEDICINE.COM International ATMO Education What Chamber Operators Should Know About Ear Barotrauma (and How to Prevent It) Robert Sheffield, CHT and Kevin “Kip” Posey, CHT / June 2018 INTRODUCTION Ear barotrauma (i.e. “ear block”, “ear squeeze”) is the most common complication of hyperbaric treatment. It occurs when the pressure in the hyperbaric chamber is greater than the pressure in the middle ear. It is prevented by patient assessment, patient education, and the appropriate actions of the chamber operator. The chamber operator has an important role in preventing ear barotrauma in hyperbaric patients. OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this article, the reader will be able to: Describe the anatomy of the middle ear Explain the mechanism of ear barotrauma Describe 3 techniques to equalize middle ear pressure ANATOMY OF THE MIDDLE EAR The middle ear is an air space that separates the external ear canal from the inner ear. The eardrum, called the tympanic membrane (TM), vibrates when sound enters the ear canal. The vibration is transmitted to a series of bones in the middle ear. These bones transmit vibration to another membrane (the oval window) that separates the air‐filled middle ear from the fluid‐filled inner ear, where sound is sensed in the cochlea. The nasopharynx is the area behind the nose and above the palate. The Eustachian tubes open into this area. Because of the location of the Eustachian tube openings, the same things that cause nasal congestion (e.g. allergies, upper respiratory infection) can cause swelling around the opening of the Eustachian tubes, making it more difficult to equalize pressure in the middle ear.

  • Hypothermia and Respiratory Heat Loss While Scuba Diving
    HYPOTHERMIA AND RESPIRATORY HEAT LOSS WHILE SCUBA DIVING Kateřina Kozáková Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University in Prague, Department of Biomedical Labo- ratory Abstract One of the factors affecting length of stay under water of a diver is heat comfort. During scuba diving there is an increased risk of hypothermia. Hypothermia is one of the most life threatening factors of a diver and significantly affects his performance. The body heat loss runs by different mechanisms. One of them is the respiratory mechanism, which is often overlooked. Compressed dry air or other media is coming out from the cylinder, which have to be heated and humidified to a suitable value. Thus the organism loses body heat and consequently energy. Based on literature search the article will describe safe dive time in terms of hypo- thermia in connection to respiratory heat loss. Key words: hypothermia, heat loss, respiration, scuba diving, water environment Souhrn Jedním z faktorů ovlivňujících délku pobytu potápěče pod vodou je tepelný komfort. Během výkonu přístro- jového potápění hrozí zvýšené riziko hypotermie. Hypotermie představuje jedno z nejzávažnějších ohrožení života potápěče a zásadně ovlivňuje jeho výkon. Ke ztrátám tělesného tepla dochází různými mechanismy. Jednou cestou tepelných ztrát je ztráta tepla dýcháním, která je často opomíjená. Z potápěčského přístroje vychází suchý stlačený vzduch nebo jiné médium, který je třeba při dýchání ohřát a zvlhčit na potřebnou hodnotu. Tím organismus ztrácí tělesné teplo a potažmo energii. Tento článek, na základě literární rešerše, popíše bezpečnou dobou ponoru z hlediska hypotermie a v souvislosti se ztrátou tepla dýcháním. Klíčová slova: hypotermie, ztráta tepla, dýchání, přístrojové potápění, vodní prostředí Introduction amount of body heat.

  • Development of the Crew Dragon ECLSS
    ICES-2020-333 Development of the Crew Dragon ECLSS Jason Silverman1, Andrew Irby2, and Theodore Agerton3 Space Exploration Technologies, Hawthorne, California, 90250 SpaceX designed the Crew Dragon spacecraft to be the safest ever flown and to restore the ability of the United States to launch astronauts. One of the key systems required for human flight is the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), which was designed to work in concert with the spacesuit and spacecraft. The tight coupling of many subsystems combined with an emphasis on simplicity and fault tolerance created unique challenges and opportunities for the design team. During the development of the crew ECLSS, the Dragon 1 cargo spacecraft flew with a simple ECLSS for animals, providing an opportunity for technology development and the early characterization of system-level behavior. As the ECLSS design matured a series of tests were conducted, including with humans in a prototype capsule in November 2016, the Demo-1 test flight to the ISS in March 2019, and human-in-the-loop ground testing in the Demo-2 capsule in January 2020 before the same vehicle performs a crewed test flight. This paper describes the design and operations of the ECLSS, the development process, and the lessons learned.

  • Consensus Conference, the ECHM
    24 Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Volume 47 No. 1 March 2017 Consensus Conference Tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine: recommendations for accepted and non-accepted clinical indications and practice of hyperbaric oxygen treatment Daniel Mathieu, Alessandro Marroni and Jacek Kot Abstract (Mathieu D, Marroni A, Kot J. Tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine: recommendations for accepted and non-accepted clinical indications and practice of hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2017 March;47(1):24-32.) The tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine took place in April 2016, attended by a large delegation of experts from Europe and elsewhere. The focus of the meeting was the revision of the European Committee on Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) list of accepted indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), based on a thorough review of the best available research and evidence-based medicine (EBM). For this scope, the modified GRADE system for evidence analysis, together with the DELPHI system for consensus evaluation, were adopted. The indications for HBOT, including those promulgated by the ECHM previously, were analysed by selected experts, based on an extensive review of the literature and of the available EBM studies. The indications were divided as follows: Type 1, where HBOT is strongly indicated as a primary treatment method, as it is supported by sufficiently strong evidence; Type 2, where HBOT is suggested as it is supported by acceptable levels of evidence; Type 3, where HBOT can be considered as a possible/optional measure, but it is not yet supported by sufficiently strong evidence. For each type, three levels of evidence were considered: A, when the number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is considered sufficient; B, when there are some RCTs in favour of the indication and there is ample expert consensus; C, when the conditions do not allow for proper RCTs but there is ample and international expert consensus.

It is generally considered safe but has some benign complications and adverse effects. The most common complication is middle ear barotrauma. The aim of this study was to collect data about middle ear and cranial sinus barotraumas in our department and to evaluate factors affecting the occurrence of barotrauma. Material and methods: Files of patients who had undergone hyperbaric oxygen therapy between June 1st, 2004, and April 30th, 2012, and HBOT log books for the same period were searched for barotraumas. Patients who were intubated and unconscious were excluded. Data about demographics and medical history of conscious patients with barotrauma (BT) were collected and evaluated retrospectively. Results: It was found that over eight years and 23,645 sessions, 39 of a total 896 patients had BT; thus, the general BT incidence of our department was 4.4%. The barotrauma incidence was significantly less in the multiplace chamber (3.1% vs. 8.7%) where a health professional attended the therapies. Most barotraumas were seen during early sessions and were generally mild. A significant accumulation according to treatment indications was not determined. Conclusion: It was thought that the low barotrauma incidence was related to the slow compression rate as well as training patients thoroughly and monitoring them carefully.
