Deep Submergence Bio Med Dev - Diver Health and Safety
Abstract
Diver Health and Safety Research: Novel methods for decompression safety and treatment of decompression sickness/arterial gas embolism. Advanced decompression models for extreme environments, including thermally challenging, long duration, multi-gas, and/or diving at altitude. Diving physiology advances in exercise, thermal exposure, oxygen/carbon dioxide alterations, other gas mixture alternations, hydration, and sustained operations. Develop pulmonary oxygen toxicity exposure limits. Provide pulmonary and Central Nervous System (CNS) oxygen toxicity mitigation strategies. Develop an advanced diver thermal model. Develop advanced insulation garments for diver thermal protection. Develop guidance for optimizing thermal control during decompression. Develop guidelines for conduct of diving operations at altitude. Develop guidance for infra- and ultra-sound diver exposure. Continue collection of operational and research dive data for inclusion in advanced probabilistic decompression models. Investigate diver in-water maladies. Develop/improve real-time decompression guidance and dive planning. Research procedures for assessing and mitigating risk for diving in contaminated water.
