In-field use of I-VED electrical impedance sensor for assessing post-dive decompression stress in humans

CONCLUSIONS: I-VED was used for the first time in humans and operated to provide qualitative in-vivo electrical impedance measurements that may contribute to the assessment of decompression stress. Compared to ultrasound imaging, the proposed method is less expensive, not operator-dependent and compatible with continuous monitoring and application of multiple probes. This study provided preliminary insights; further calibration and validation are necessary to determine I-VED sensitivity and specificity.PMID:38615356
