Objectives:
- When a swimmer, for instance a surfaced diver breathes through a snorkel the total breathing resistance will doubtless increase. It is often said that this increase is substantial. The study tried to quantify this increase.
- An increased resistance implies an increased cost of breathing. The study did quantify the increased cost and power of breathing for a large range of pulmonary ventilations for different types of snorkels.
- It is often claimed (the internet, congresses, papers) that using a snorkel results in hypercapnia. The study did evaluate this notion.
- The reader will be able to identify the major signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in severe cases.
- The reader will be able to list the major mechanisms by which hyperbaric oxygen is likely to be therapeutic in severe cases of COVID-19.
