Download or read book The Physician s Guide to Diving Medicine written by C.B. Carlston and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to be a physician's guide for those interested in diving and hyperbaric environments. It is not a detailed document for the erudite researcher; rather, it is a source of information for the scuba-diving physician who is searching for answers put to him by his fellow nonmedical divers. Following the publication of The Underwater Handbook: A Guide to Physiology and Performance for the Engineer there were frequent requests for a companion volume for the physician. This book is designed to fill the void. Production of the book has been supported by the Office of Naval Research and by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Research and Development Command, under Navy Contract No. NOOOOI4-78-C-0604. Our heartfelt thanks go to the many authors without whose contributions the book could not have been produced. These articles are signed by the responsible authors, and the names a~e also listed alphabetically in these preliminary pages. Every chapter was officially reviewed by at least one expert in the field covered and these reviewers are also listed on these pages. Our thanks go to them for their valuable assistance. We are grateful to Marthe Beckett Kent for editing Chapter III. Our thanks also go to Mrs. Carolyn Paddon for typing and retyping the manuscripts, and to Mrs. Catherine Coppola, who so expertly handled the many fiscal affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial letter that went out to Workshop participants outlined the background that led to the formulation of the workshop topic. It stated 'The median depth of diving in the U.S. Navy is only about 34 fsw. Because the great majority of fleet diving is only to shallow depths, the U.S. Navy has not yet really confronted the true magnitude of the decompression problem. There is every indication that if the U.S. Navy were to suddenly desire to start diving deeper, there would be a tremendous increase in the incidence of decompression sickness. The evidence to support this contention can be found in the fact that the U.S. Navy has never been able to conduct a 'bends'-free deep saturation dive; the project to develop deep subsaturation decompression procedures for the MK 1 Deep Dive System was abandoned due to severe decompression sickness; the diver training program has its highest incidence of decompression sickness on its deep air narcosis demonstration chamber dive; and finally, the U.S. Navy Safety Center statistics show an inordinately high incidence of decompression sickness on dives deeper that 100 fsw. The first section of the report presents a brief history of the development of the U.S. Navy's version of the Haldane model, along with a description of some of the diving environments in which the model has not worked. The second section deals with the 12 neo-Haldanian assumptions and presents the best current thinking with regard to their viability; it also serves to meet the objectives of the Workshop. The third section of the report contains the individual manuscripts presented by the Workshop attendees.

Book excerpt: While the effects of pressure change are readily quantified in physics, chemistry, and engineering applications, the physiology, medicine, and biology of pressure changes in living systems are much more complicated. This complex science translated to technical diving is discussed in a five-part series, with each topic self-contained and strategical
Download or read book Developments in Diving Technology written by Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1985-03-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to about 30 years' ago diving activity was centred primarily on the naval services, who provided a lead in the development of equipment, techniques and procedures. Apart from one or two spectacular salvage undertakings, the main commercial activity up until that time was fairly low-key work in docks and harbours. The concept of saturation diving emerged from subsea habitats of which Captain Cousteau was one of the pioneers. This led the way to commercial development in support of exploration and the production of offshore oil and gas, and I believe that my friend Henri Delauze was one of the first to mount the subsea habitat on deck and provide a sealed bell to convey divers from the habitat to the seabed without change of pressure. A remarkable feature of offshore oil and gas technology in the North Sea has been the willingness of all concerned to exchange information regarding R&D. This has had a major effect on the advance in technology over the last few years. As far as diving is concerned, it is to some extent 'Hobson's Choice'. Legal patents are difficult to achieve in this field, and the casual nature of diver employment to date has meant that ideas and techniques circulate almost as freely as the divers themselves. In addition, the advertis ing of the new technologies which one has to offer almost auto matically means disclosure of what otherwise might be secret.

Download or read book Diving Physics with Bubble Mechanics and Decompression Theory in Depth written by B. R Wienke and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on physics and associated mathematical relationships. Basic principles are first presented, and then practical applications and results are detailed. The intent here is to present a working view of physical phase mechanics, then followed by application to decompression theory in diving. It is directed toward the diver and reader with a basic understanding of decompression. Basically the mechanics of tissue gas exchange, bubbles and nucleation, supersaturation, perfusion and diffusion, and related mechanisms are discussed. The targeted audience is especially the doctor or physiologist, physicist, chemist, mathematician, engineer or biologist by training and also the commercial diver, technical diver, instructor, hyperbaric technician, underwater researcher, looking for greater detail.
Download or read book Basic Decompression written by Bruce R. Wienke and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "3rd Edition of BASIC DECOMPRESSION THEORY AND APPLICATION takes all rudiments of decompression theory and phase mechanics to considerable depth, while focusing on diving applications in a historical perspective. Topics span many disciplines, and the targeted audience is the commercial diver, hyperbaric scientist, doctor, physical scientist, technical diver, and dive instructor. The intent of the 3rd Edition is to present a working view of decompression in diving, mostly focusing on theory with application, including equations. The discussion is neither a medical nor physiological synthesis. Such aspects are simplified, and for some certainly oversimplified. Nonetheless, it is directed toward the diver and reader with some rudimentary understanding of decompression. Background in the physical or life sciences is helpful but certainly not necessary. Discussed are the mechanics of tissue gas exchange, bubbles and nucleation, supersaturation, perfusion and diffusion. Also included are chapters on "Mixed Gases and Decompression" - "Decompression Tables, Meters and Models" - "Decompression Risks and Statistics." References and numerical examples (with solutions) are included for more detail and extended diver analysis."--Publisher's website.
