RESEARCH ARTICLE

The effect of total compression time and rate (slope) of compression on the incidence of symptomatic Eustachian tube dysfunction and middle ear barotrauma: a Phase II prospective study
Owen J. O’Neill; David Dayya; Lince Varughese; Jo Anne Marker; Lubiha Perez; Michael Dayya

RESEARCH ARTICLE

Decrease in dysbaric osteonecrosis severity as a result of 45-minute oxygen pre-breathe
Jacob Lamers; Kent MacLaughlin; Dave Pegelow; Marlowe Eldridge, MD; Aleksey Sobakin DVM, PhD

Objectives:
  1. Understand that using a 15-minute vs a 10-minute compression profile will reduce the observed number of patients requiring a stop due to Eustachian tube dysfunction, during a compression to 45 fsw in a multiplace setting.
  2. Understand that reducing the number of stops and holds (symptomatic Eustachian tube dysfunction), should result in less barotrauma and less of a tendency to terminate a patient’s treatment.
  3. Understand that a linear compression profile has an observed effect on reducing Eustachian tube dysfunction over a non-linear compression profile, however this finding is not statistically significant and is pending further study in the Phase III arm.
  4. The protocol studied in the multiplace setting may prove useful during compression in a monoplace chamber, but  this protocol has not yet been studied in a monoplace setting.
  5. To understand the effect of shorter lengths of oxygen pre-breathe in the reduction of dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) and recommendations to prevent DON. 
  6. To explain how the main (multiple exposure to radical drop in pressure, greater maximal diving depth) and other potential (higher level of plasminogen activator, fat embolisms, hyperlipidemia) risk factors contributed to the development of DON.
