Experiment of nitrox saturation diving with trimix excursion.
Depth limitations to diving operation with air as the breathing gas are well known: air density, oxygen toxicity, nitrogen narcosis and requirement for decompression. The main objectives of our experiment were to assess the decompression, counterdiffusion and performance aspect of helium-nitrogen-oxygen excursions from nitrox saturation. The experiment was carried out in a wet diving stimulator...
متن کاملHypothermia during saturation diving in the North Sea.
We recently suggested after laboratory experiments' that undetected hypothermia might account for unexplained casualties during working dives in the North Sea. At depths greater than 50 m in the North Sea water temperature is below 10°C. Heat is usually supplied by flooding the diving suit continuously with warm water pumped from the surface via the diving bell; its temperature is monitored at ...
متن کاملDiver's hand: a skin disorder common in occupational saturation diving.
Saturation divers regularly inspect North Sea installations, working at depth for periods of 12-16 days. Diver's hand is a particular problem in saturation diving, and there is no effective protection or treatment available. This paper presents the occurrence of diver's hand and describes the disease in clinical and epidemiological terms. Three studies of diver's hand have been carried out, in ...
متن کاملNeurologic Complications of Scuba Diving -- American Family Physician
www.aafp.org/afp AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN 2211 Dive-Related Barotrauma During descent and ascent in the water, the diver is constantly exposed to alterations of ambient pressure. Barotrauma refers to tissue damage that occurs when a gas-filled body space (e.g., lungs, middle ear) fails to equalize its internal pressure to accommodate changes in ambient pressure. The behavior of gasses at depth...
متن کاملIdentification of infectious Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in an occupational saturation diving environment.
OBJECTIVES Occupational saturation divers have various skin disorders, of which skin infections are the most serious and frequent. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the microbe most often isolated from skin infections in divers. The purpose of the present work was (a) to report the occurrence of P aeruginosa in skin infections in operational saturation diving in the North Sea from 1987 to 1995; (b) to ...
