Technical validation of the EMMA capnometer under hyperbaric conditions
CONCLUSIONS: This study validated EMMA capnometer function to 281 kPa in the hyperbaric environment. The device over-read CO₂ measurements at pressures >141 kPa, however there was a linear relationship between expected and measured CO₂. The EMMA capnometer may be clinically useful for monitoring expired CO₂ in patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment.PMID:37365127 | DOI:10.28920/dhm53.2.100-110

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for intensive care patients: position statement by the European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine.
Authors: Mathieu D, Ratzenhofer-Komenda B, Kot J Abstract Many of the accepted indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) may occur in critically ill patients. HBOT itself may cause a number of physiological changes which may further compromise the patient's state. Guidelines on the management of critically ill patients in a hyperbaric facility have been founded on the conclusions of the 2007 European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) meeting. With regard to patient management, HBOT should be included in the overall care of ICU patients only after a risk/benefit assessment related to the specifics of...

A comparison of simple reaction time, visual discrimination and critical flicker fusion frequency in professional divers at elevated pressure.
CONCLUSIONS: Response speeds of the same subjects were impaired in both reaction time tasks at 608 kPa, whereas CFF increased at depth. An association between changes in response times and changes in CFF suggests that divers susceptible to IGN may also be susceptible to the effects of elevated oxygen partial pressure. If this holds true, the future selection of professional divers could be improved by the use of simple cognitive tests. PMID: 27334995 [PubMed - in process]

Early detection of diving-related cognitive impairment of different nitrogen-oxygen gas mixtures using critical flicker fusion frequency.
CONCLUSIONS: Since changes were not related to haemodynamic variables, HbO₂ and HHb values indicate a significant, O₂-dependent activation in the prefrontal cortex. Owing to the correlation with some tests from the PEBL, CFFF could be a convenient measure of cognitive performance/ability in extreme environments, likely under the direct influence of oxygen partial pressure, a potent modulator of IGN symptoms.

Assessment of sensory sensitivity through critical flicker fusion frequency thresholds after a maximum voluntary apnoea.
CONCLUSIONS: A maximal dynamic apnoea did not produce changes in central nervous system fatigue or cortical arousal. We found no relationship between the hypoxaemia level reached after a maximal apnoea and changes in the CFFF thresholds. This study suggests that the time of exposure to hypoxia during a maximal voluntary apnoea is not enough to produce changes in SS. PMID: 31523793 [PubMed - in process]

Identifying and acting on potentially inappropriate care? Inadequacy of current hospital coding for this task.
CONCLUSIONS: Current Government datasets are irretrievably compromised and not fit for purpose. Attempting to inform the healthcare policy debate by reference to these datasets is inappropriate. Urgent clinical engagement with hospital coding departments is warranted. PMID: 28641321 [PubMed - in process]

Evidence for simulation-based education in hyperbaric medicine: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: More research is needed to determine how the hyperbaric medicine community and their patients may benefit from simulation-based education to optimize both practice and patient care. PMID: 31523796 [PubMed - in process]

Retrospective review of enquiries to the Qu ébec diving medicine call centre: 2004 through 2018
CONCLUSIONS: The call centre serves as a resource to the community, providing information on health and safety for diving in addition to being available to assist with emergent needs.PMID:34157730 | DOI:10.28920/dhm51.2.152-160
