Deep Submergence Bio Med Dev - Submarine Escape & Rescue
Abstract
Submarine Rescue/Escape Research: Provide decompression procedures for pressurized Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS) operators. Investigate adjunctive therapies for treating Disabled Submarine (DISSUB) survivors. Provide updated guidance for food, water, clothing, medical supplies, to enhance survival of submarine crews awaiting rescue. Develop/provide flexible computer-generated decompression schedules for wide range of conditions in a DISSUB. Develop DISSUB medical triage procedures and support DISSUB survival trials. Develop mitigation strategies to reduce hyperbaric oxygen exposures in closed vehicles/compartments. Develop treatment guidance for decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism in submarine escape and rescue. Investigate the use of novel pharmacologic agents to reduce decompression risk and/or oxygen toxicity in submarine rescues. Develop/deploy toxic gas analyzer for use in pressurized DISSUB rescue. Investigate interventions for toxicological problems in DISSUB survivors. Develop strategies to minimize decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism with Submarine Escape and Surface Survival Personnel Equipment (SESSPE) training.
