Deep Submergence Bio Med Dev
Abstract
This project: 1) Develops advanced biomedical and bioengineering technology for medical and life support enhancement to decrease submariner deaths and permanent injury in a disabled submarine (DISSUB) and during submarine escape and rescue; 2) Conducts research for diver health, safety, and effectiveness: - to increase understanding of human performance and enhanced diver stress management and survivability in high stress environments such as in cold/warm water and at altitude; and - to validate and improve the accuracy of assumptions associated with equipment testing and certification, diving procedures, and diver biomedical physiology. Deliverables for DISSUB include: medical guidance/procedures increasing submariner survivability for submarine escape and rescue (including new Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS)), life support parameters, medical procedures for life support; exposure and mitigation guidance for atmospheric contaminants, high levels of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide; prevention and treatment of decompression sickness and pulmonary oxygen toxicity; and senior survivor expert decision system. Deliverables for diver health and safety include: decompression guidance in extreme environment diving with various breathing mixtures, temperatures, durations, and altitudes; exposure guidance for oxygen breathing; diver performance guidance based on physiological effects of diving; enhanced underwater swimming efficiency; enhanced diver thermal protection; collection of operational diving depth/time profiles to predict decompression risk, and exposure and mitigation guidance for divers experiencing underwater continuous noise, impulse noise, or underwater blast.
