Deep Submergence Bio Med Dev

Abstract

This project: 1) Develops advanced biomedical and bioengineering technology for enhancing medical and life support for submarine escape and rescue; 2) Conducts research for diver health, safety and effectiveness; and 3) Supports deeper, longer, and more flexible dives. Deliverables for DISSUB (disabled submarine) include: medical procedures for submarine escape and rescue (including new Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS)), life support parameters, medical procedures for life support, exposure guidance for atmospheric contaminants, non-chemical CO2 scrubbing, prevention and treatment of decompression illness, and senior survivor expert decision system. Deliverables for diver enhancement include: exposure guidance for diver underwater continuous noise, impulse noise, and underwater blast, exposure guidance for oxygen breathing, collection of operational diving depth/time profiles to predict decompression risk, and enhanced underwater swimming efficiency. Requirements: NAPDD #587-873, Deep Submergence Biomedical Development, 23 November 1999.
