Selected Risks of the Decompression Process. Part I: Selected Inherent Residual Risks in the Decompression Process
Páginas: 7 - 36
Resumen
A safe transition from a higher-pressure atmosphere to a lower-pressure atmosphere is achieved by means of a planned decompression process, usually through changes in pressure and/or the composition of the breathing mix as a function of time. However, the decompression process is influenced by a greater number of inherent1 factors than merely changes in pressure and composition of the breathing mixture, the values of which should be maintained within certain ranges. However, there are instances where control over them cannot be maintained, leaving elements of residual risk2 to the decompression process. The safety of decompression should be assessed, inter alia, by analysing this risk for each implementation of the decompression process.

Evaluation of EEG Tests in the Amateur Diving Instructor Group and Correlation with the Occurrence of Sterile Bone Necrosis
Páginas: 37 - 40
Resumen
The research undertaken was a continuation of previous studies relating to professional divers. The bioelectrical activity of the brain with an electronic electroencephalograph (EEG) was studied in a group of 89 instructors for amateur diving between 21 and 50 years of age. Pathological patterns were found in 15.7% of the subjects. In comparison with professional divers, the disturbances were significantly less frequent, but considerably more frequent in comparison with the control group. There was no relationship between the occurrence of the disorders in relation to the age of the examined person, however, the occurrence of the disorders was more frequent in persons with the least experience. Moreover, a correlation was found in one age group between abnormalities of EEG recording and the occurrence of sterile bone necrosis.

Cerebral Gas Embolism in the Course of Mildly Symptomatic Pulmonary Barotrauma in a Scuba Diver
Páginas: 41 - 44
Resumen
The paper presents a case of pulmonary barotrauma in a scuba diver. Swallowing water and respiratory arrest during the ascent caused the trauma. Symptoms from the respiratory system (including the Behnke’s symptom) appeared several minutes after the completion of the dive and were not severe. However, symptoms from the peripheral nervous system, which appeared later, increased rapidly until the seizure episode and loss of consciousness. Hyperbaric treatment was applied in a decompression chamber on board the ship from which the dive was conducted. The treatment resulted in complete remission of symptoms without any consequences.

Pulmonary Barotrauma During Hypoxia in a Diver While Underwater
Páginas: 45 - 50
Resumen
The article describes a diver performing a dive at small depths in a dry suit, breathing from a single-stage apparatus placed on his back. As a result of training deficiencies, the diver began breathing from inside the suit, which led to hypoxia and subsequent uncontrolled ascent. Upon returning to the surface, the diver developed neurological symptoms based on which a diagnosis of pulmonary barotrauma was made. The diver was successfully treated with therapeutic recompression-decompression.

Diver Poisoning with Contaminated Compresses Air
Páginas: 51 - 54
Resumen
The paper describes the case of a military diver who suffered from a complicated poisoning caused by hydrocarbons contained in his breathing air. The hydrocarbons came from a malfunctioning compressor which was used to fill the diving cylinders; the compressor sucked in the exhaust gases of its own motor. Exhaust gas poisoning was further complicated by hypoxia and hypercapnia as the diver spat out the mouthpiece and started to breathe from inside the suit. This resulted in a loss of consciousness. The diver was extracted to the surface and was given oxygen to breathe. The course of treatment was successful. On the same day, symptoms of exhaust gas poisoning occurred in several divers using cylinders filled with the same compressor.
