  • Why nitrogen levels in your body go up directly with increasing depth, but oxygen levels don't

  • The dive reflex - it doesn't conserve oxygen in humans, so what does it do?

  • Free radicals and oxygen toxicity - will anti-oxidant vitamins protect against the oxidants involved in toxicity? What does that mean?

  • Technical diving - trimix, heliox, hang mixes, what to do when you have to 'go' on long hangs, gas switching, how to rehydrate underwater...

  • Did you know that 'The Valsalva' maneuver and 'Shallow Water Blackout'are misnamed? What are they really?

  • Facts and myths about diving in heat and cold

  • Swimmer's ear - why cotton swabs and earplugs more often cause than prevent it

  • What to do for marine stings

Lots more, plus a large annotated glossary

246 pages illustrated, $price.

 

"Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Review For Physicians" contains information physicians need to know to do their work in hyperbaric medicine, and understand test questions for the board exam. The first Preventive Medicine subspecialty physician board certification exam was given in undersea and hyperbaric medicine in 1999, and the first exam book came out. The current book has been expanded in scope and depth to reflect changes and additions since then. This review and study guide is an organized, easily readable, but extensive compendiums of information in diving medicine, hyperbaric treatment of diving and non-diving conditions. Among many new topics in this year's edition are all 13 approved indications for clinical hyperbaric oxygen treatment complete with chamber protocols, plus chamber equipment, codes, fire safety, patient safety, and regulations. Sample test questions in each area with answers, and step by step mathematical calculations and explanations are included. This book can be ordered by anyone interested in the topic areas, and is not restricted to diving and hyperbaric physicians.
