This book was released on 2002-02-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-board fires can occur on submarines after events such as collision or explosion. These fires expose crew members to toxic concentrations of combustion products such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide. Exposure to these substances at high concentrations may cause toxic effects to the respiratory and central nervous system; leading possible to death. T protect crew members on disabled submarines, scientists at the U.S. Navy Health Research Center's Toxicology Detachment have proposed two exposure levels, called submarine escape action level (SEAL) 1 and SEAL 2, for each substance. SEAL 1 is the maximum concentration of a gas in a disabled submarine below which healthy submariners can be exposed for up to 10 days without encountering irreversible health effects while SEAL 2 the maximum concentration of a gas in below which healthy submariners can be exposed for up to 24 hours without experiencing irreversible health effects. SEAL 1 and SEAL 2 will not impair the functions of the respiratory system and central nervous system to the extent of impairing the ability of crew members in a disabled submarine to escape, be rescued, or perform specific tasks. Hoping to better protect the safety of submariners, the chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery requested that the National Research Council (NRC) review the available toxicologic and epidemiologic data on eight gases that are likely to be produced in a disabled submarine and to evaluate independently the scientific validity of the Navy's proposed SEALs for those gases. The NRC assigned the task to the Committee on Toxicology's (COT's) Subcommittee on Submarine Escape Action Levels. The specific task of the subcommittee was to review the toxicologic, epidemiologic, and related data on ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide in order to validate the Navy's proposed SEALs. The subcommittee also considered the implications of exposures at hyperbaric conditions and potential interactions between the eight gases. Review of Submarine Escape Action Levels for Selected Chemicals presents the subcommittee's findings after evaluation human data from experimental, occupational, and epidemiologic studies; data from accident reports; and experimental-animal data. The evaluations focused primarily on high-concentration inhalation exposure studies. The subcommittee's recommended SEALs are based solely on scientific data relevant to health effects. The report includes the recommendations for each gas as determined by the subcommittee as well as the Navy's original instructions for these substances.

Download or read book Location of Triage of Disabled Submarine DISSUB Survivors Validating Equipment and Procedures written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes findings on an assortment of technologies focused on the location and triage of disabled submarine (DISSUB) survivors. In a DISSUB scenario, survivors are exposed to numerous threats such as hyper-/hypothermia, buildup of toxic gases, increased carbon dioxide levels, and/or decreased levels of oxygen. These could easily render any survivors unresponsive and hinder efficient, focused triage and rescue efforts. Further confounding rescue efforts, first responders may have varying levels of medical experience and are seeking to locate and triage casualties in the dark, confined environment of a DISSUB. Additionally, both responders and casualties may be wearing protective overgarments with toxic gases or flooding in the associated spaces. Thus, there is a need for development and implementation of equipment to assist first responders in the rapid identification and triage of any survivors. Three specific areas of technology were investigated in this initial assessment: biosensor monitoring, expedited location of casualties, and rapid life/death determination. Overall, 10 pieces of equipment were tested and only one was recommended for use in its current state. This was the Naval Firefighter Thermal Imager (NFTI) that is already in place onboard submarines. While several other technologies demonstrated great potential for future benefit, in their current state they were either prohibitively costly or their function was performed better using simpler and more reliable techniques such as confirming a palpable carotid pulse.

Download or read book Hyperbaric Medicine Practice 4th Edition written by Dr. Harry T. Whelan and published by Best Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 1112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook may sometimes gain the unusual trait of longevity beyond all other books - it can be revised and remain a primary source of information for generations of students. Hyperbaric Medicine Practice seems destined to become such a book. This 4th edition, edited by Harry T. Whelan, pays tribute to its original author, Dr. Kindwall, who died in 2012. It also adds new information of interest to all in the field of diving and clinical hyperbaric medicine. Most chapters have been written or revised by new authors, but many have returned to update their chapters. New chapters include indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment subjects recently approved for treatment such as idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and central retinal vein occlusion. There are also chapters on submarine rescue and problems that pertain to technical and rebreather diving. This book will be an important addition to the library of physicians in clinical hyperbaric medicine and those involved with divers—recreational, commercial, and military—as well as other professionals who care for them. - comments by Henry J.C.
