Atypical distally distributed cutis marmorata decompression sickness associated with unconventional use of thermal protection in a diver with persistent foramen ovale
We report a case of cutis marmorata decompression sickness of an unusual pattern associated with unconventional use of thermal protection (a 'shorty' wetsuit worn over full suit) by a diver with a PFO. The patient also had neurological manifestations of decompression sickness. The distal lower limb pattern of involvement favours the hypothesis that cutis marmorata in humans is likely to be due to bubbles in the skin itself and/or adjacent tissues rather than cerebrally mediated.PMID:37718304 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.285-289

Investigation into the effect of hyperbaric hyperoxia on serum cardiac Troponin T levels as a biomarker of cardiac injury
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that profound hyperoxaemia does not induce any measurable cardiac injury at a biochemical level. Neither is there a reduction in cardiac troponin to suggest a cardioprotective effect of hyperbaric hyperoxia. This provides some reassurance as to the cardiac safety of the routine use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in management of non-cardiac pathology.PMID:37718303 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.281-284

A systematic review of electroencephalography in acute cerebral hypoxia: clinical and diving implications
CONCLUSIONS: Electroencephalographic frequency patterns change in response to acute cerebral hypoxia. There is paucity of literature on the relationship between quantitative EEG analysis techniques and cerebral hypoxia. Because of the conflicting results in EEG power frequency analysis, future research needs to quantitatively define a hypoxia-EEG response curve, and how it is altered by concurrent cognitive task loading.PMID:37718302 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.268-280

Diving with psychotropic medication: review of the literature and clinical considerations
Diving Hyperb Med. 2023 Sep 30;53(3):259-267. doi: 10.28920/dhm53.3.259-267.ABSTRACTThis review discusses the safety concerns associated with diving while using psychotropic medication and the limited literature available on the topic. Despite the risks, some divers continue to dive while taking these medications, and their reasons for doing so are unclear. The exact mechanisms of action of these drugs in hyperbaric environments are poorly understood. While current standards and advice for fitness-to-dive assessments are based on limited evidence and expert opinion, developing evidence-based strategies could improve patien...

Selecting optimal air diving gradient factors for Belgian military divers: more conservative settings are not necessarily safer
CONCLUSIONS: For non-repetitive air dives, the optimal GF setting is GFLO 100, with only the GFHI parameter lowered to increase safety. No evidence was found that using the default GF setting (30/70) would lead to a safer decompression for air dives as deep as 60 metres of seawater; rather the opposite. Belgian Navy divers have been advised against using the default GF settings of the Shearwater Perdix dive computer and instead adopt symmetrical GF settings which is currently the optimal achievable approach considering the software constraints.PMID:37718300 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.251-258

A retrospective review of divers treated for inner ear decompression sickness at Fiona Stanley Hospital hyperbaric medicine unit 2014-2020
CONCLUSIONS: IEDCS occurred predominantly after non-technical repetitive air dives and ongoing symptoms and signs were often observed after HBOT. Appropriate follow-up is required given the high prevalence of PFO in these patients.PMID:37718299 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.243-250

A retrospective review of the utility of chest X-rays in diving and submarine medical examinations
CONCLUSIONS: In South Africa, a routine CXR has a role to play in detecting abnormalities that are incompatible with pressure exposures. The highest number of abnormalities were found during the initial examinations and in individuals with long service records. Only four individuals had a clinical indication for their CXR during the 31-year span of our study. Similar studies should be performed to make recommendations in other countries and settings.PMID:37718298 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.237-242

Contemporary practices of blood glucose management in diabetic patients: a survey of hyperbaric medicine units in Australia and New Zealand
CONCLUSIONS: This survey highlights the burden of diabetes on patients treated with HBOT and identifies considerable variability in practices which may benefit from further study to optimise management of these patients.PMID:37718297 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.230-236

Outcomes of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for central and branch retinal artery occlusion at a major Australian referral hospital
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment appears a safe, beneficial treatment for central RAO. No benefit was demonstrated in branch RAO although numbers were small. Increased awareness of HBOT for RAO resulting in streamlined referrals and transfers and greater uptake of this intervention may further improve patient outcomes.PMID:37718296 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.224-229

Self-reported vitality and health status are higher in Dutch submariners than in the general population
CONCLUSIONS: Dutch veteran submariners have better self-reported vitality and health status than the general Dutch population. Rank, service, and time at sea did not significantly affect scores of Dutch submariners.PMID:37718295 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.218-223

Snorkelling and breath-hold diving fatalities in Australian waters, 2014 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing age, obesity and associated cardiac disease have become increasingly prevalent in snorkelling deaths and there is a need for improved health surveillance and risk management. Closer supervision of inexperienced snorkellers is indicated. Apnoeic hypoxia from extended breath-holding and poor supervision remain a problem. The increased risk of harvesting seafood in areas frequented by large marine predators needs to be appreciated and managed appropriately.PMID:37718294 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.210-217

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in children: experience in 329 patients
CONCLUSIONS: This patient series indicates that HBOT can be safely performed in pediatric patients with low complication rates by taking appropriate precautions. The cooperation of hyperbaric medicine physicians and other physicians related to paediatric healthcare is important in order for more patients to benefit from this treatment. When managing intubated patients an anaesthesiologist may need to participate in the treatment in order to perform necessary interventions.PMID:37718293 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.3.203-209
