- Medical and surgical management of pneumothorax in diving and hyperbaric chambers
Richard E. Clarke, CHT-A; Keith Van Meter, MD - In-field use of I-VED electrical impedance sensor for assessing post-dive decompression stress in humans
Sotiris P. Evgenidis, PhD; Konstantinos Zacharias, PhD; Virginie Papadopoulou, PhD; Sigrid Theunissen, PhD; Costantino Balestra, PhD; Thodoris D. Karapantsios, PhD
Objectives
- Summarize pneumothorax presentations and nuances related to in-chamber diagnosis.
- Review the mechanistic basis for non-surgical management of in-chamber pneumothorax.
- The reader should understand how distinct frequency band components of acquired bio-electrical impedance signals can be correlated with the detection of: a) post-dive bubbles (diagnosis of Decompression Sickness) and b) arterial endothelial dysfunction, which are markers of decompression stress.
- The reader should recognize the advantages of electrical impedance spectroscopy over the ultrasound imaging, with regard to the assessment of decompression stress.
- The reader should realize that bio-electrical impedance measurements are simple to perform and can provide valuable information for different pathological situations.
