Abyss Advanced Dive Planning Software Copyright 1995--2000, Abysmal Diving Inc. All rights reserved. No portion of this manual may be copied without permission. This section Last Revised on 1 May 11,11, 20002000 WARNING! Users of do-it-yourself programs for performing decompression computations, including ABYSS, should understand that the programs do not immediately solve all decompression problems. A considerable store of experience comes with ABYSS, but the relevance of available experience may vary considerably between different types of dives. ABYSS itself cannot provide judgment as to choice of its many variables, but examples and advice are available to users from Abysmal Diving Inc. as part of the ABYSS package. The program requires a knowledge of diving physiology and operations, and some training and study of the ABYSS system by the potential User in order to operate it effectively. The fact that a table was generated by ABYSS does not specify how it was computed, nor does it guarantee freedom from the possibility of decompression sickness. That possibility exists with all diving, and divers should be well aware of it.

    Diving Standards (I.E., Code of Federal Regulations, 29.1910 Subpart T)

    STANDARDS FOR THE CONDUCT OF SCIENTIFIC DIVING June 3, 2004 OFFICE OF POLAR PROGRAMS NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 1 FOREWORD The Office of Polar Programs (OPP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support for underwater diving associated with the research activities it funds in Antarctica. The NSF/OPP’s Standards for the Conduct of Scientific Diving have been developed to ensure that all scientific diving conducted under the aegis of the Office of Polar Programs is conducted in a manner that will maximize protection of scientific divers from accidental injury or illness associated with underwater diving while optimizing the researchers’ ability to conduct research. The OPP Standards have been patterned after the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) Standards for Scientific Diving, a document that has provided a template for scientific diving at most academic and research institutions in the United States over the last fifty years. The approach described in the AAUS Standards for Scientific Diving has been recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as providing an alternate means of protecting divers than their commercial diving standards (i.e., Code of Federal Regulations, 29.1910 Subpart T). There are inherent risks in underwater diving and doing so in polar regions involves additional risks because of the environmental conditions and remoteness. The OPP Standards for the Conduct of Scientific Diving provides a framework within which to manage those risks and allow underwater diving in support of the scientific enterprise in Antarctica to proceed safely. Each scientific diver should acknowledge those risks and commit to conducting their underwater diving activities in accordance with the OPP Standards.

  • Training Objectives for a Diving Medical Physician

    Training Objectives for a Diving Medical Physician

    The Diving Medical Advisory Committee Training Objectives for a Diving Medicine Physician This guidance includes all the training objectives agreed by the Diving Medical Advisory Committee, the European Diving Technology Committee and the European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine in 2011. Rev 1 - 2013 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to define more closely the training objectives in diving physiology and medicine that need to be met by doctors already fully accredited or board-certified in a clinical speciality to national standards. It is based on topic headings that were originally prepared for a working group of European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC) and the European Committee of Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) as a guide for diving medicine some 20 years ago by J.Desola (Spain), T.Nome (Norway) & D.H.Elliott (U.K.). The training now required for medical examiners of working divers and for specialist diving medicine physicians was based on a EDTC/ECHM standard 1999 and subsequently has been enhanced by the Diving Medical Advisory Committee (DMAC), revised and agreed in principle by DMAC, EDTC and ECHM in 2010 and then ratified by EDTC and ECHM in 2011. The requirements now relate to an assessment of competence, the need for some training in occupational medicine, the need for maintenance of those skills by individual ‘refresher training’. Formal recognition of all this includes the need to involve a national authority for medical education. These objectives have been applied internationally to doctors who provide medical support to working divers. (Most recreational instructors and dive guides are, by their employment, working divers and so the guidance includes the relevant aspects of recreational diving.

Partial Liquid Ventilation Versus Conventional Mechanical Ventilation with High PEEP and Moderate Tidal Volume in Acute Respiratory Failure in Piglets SIEGFRIED RÖDL, BERNDT URLESBERGER, IGOR KNEZ, DRAGO DACAR, AND GERFRIED ZOBEL Departments of Pediatrics [S.R., G.Z.], Neonatology [B.U.] and Cardiac Surgery [I.K., D.D.], University of Graz, A-8036 Graz, Austria ABSTRACT This prospective randomized pilot study aimed to test the measurements. When compared with control animals, partial hypotheses that partial liquid ventilation combined with a high liquid ventilation resulted in significantly better oxygenation positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and a moderate tidal with improved cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Dead space volume results in improved gas exchange and lung mechanics ventilation appeared to be lower during partial liquid ventilation without negative hemodynamic influences compared with con- compared with conventional mechanical ventilation.

    Respiration (Physiology) 1 Respiration (Physiology)

    Respiration (physiology) 1 Respiration (physiology) In physiology, respiration (often mistaken with breathing) is defined as the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. This is in contrast to the biochemical definition of respiration, which refers to cellular respiration: the metabolic process by which an organism obtains energy by reacting oxygen with glucose to give water, carbon dioxide and ATP (energy). Although physiologic respiration is necessary to sustain cellular respiration and thus life in animals, the processes are distinct: cellular respiration takes place in individual cells of the animal, while physiologic respiration concerns the bulk flow and transport of metabolites between the organism and the external environment. In unicellular organisms, simple diffusion is sufficient for gas exchange: every cell is constantly bathed in the external environment, with only a short distance for gases to flow across. In contrast, complex multicellular animals such as humans have a much greater distance between the environment and their innermost cells, thus, a respiratory system is needed for effective gas exchange. The respiratory system works in concert with a circulatory system to carry gases to and from the tissues. In air-breathing vertebrates such as humans, respiration of oxygen includes four stages: • Ventilation, moving of the ambient air into and out of the alveoli of the lungs. • Pulmonary gas exchange, exchange of gases between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. • Gas transport, movement of gases within the pulmonary capillaries through the circulation to the peripheral capillaries in the organs, and then a movement of gases back to the lungs along the same circulatory route.
  • The Effect of Breathing Mixtures on Physical Capacity of Rats in Hyperbaric Conditions

    The Effect of Breathing Mixtures on Physical Capacity of Rats in Hyperbaric Conditions

    POLISH HYPERBARIC RESEARCH 3(60)2017 Journal of Polish Hyperbaric Medicine and Technology Society THE EFFECT OF BREATHING MIXTURES ON PHYSICAL CAPACITY OF RATS IN HYPERBARIC CONDITIONS Tadeusz Doboszyński1), Bogdan Łokucijewski1), Piotr Siermontowski1), Marek Rejman2), Romuald Olszański1) 1) Maritime & Hyperbaric Medicine Department, Gdynia, Military Institute of Medicine, in Warsaw, Poland 2) Swimming Department of the Academy of Physical Education in Wrocław, Poland ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of composition of various breathing mixes on physical capacity of rats swimming in hyperbaric conditions. The said effect was determined on the basis of results of a swim test performed in a pressure chamber. The study was performed with the use of atmospheric air, a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (N2/02) at a ratio of 89.5/10 and 92/7.5, as well as a mixture of argon and oxygen at a ratio of 79.5/20 (Ar/02). The tests were conducted at a pressure range between 0-4 atm. The results suggest that the physical capacity of the tested animals decreased along with pressure increase regardless of the breathing mix used. Due to the fact that the burdening of rats with physical effort in hyperbaric conditions intensifies the adverse effects of components of breathing mixes on their performance, it seems appropriate to continue the study of physiological responses to breathing mixtures of various compositions in human body subjected to physical effort while under water. Keywords: mixed gas, hyperbary, effort, rats.
