the risks of decompression sickness in flying after diving. Undersea Hyperb Med 2004; 31 …

Flying after diving creates a recognized but poorly quantified risk of decompression sickness
(DCS). Most of the available guidelines are based on limited experimental data. Some of …

Background: Decompression sickness (DCS) can be provoked by post-dive flying but few
data exist to quantify the risk of different post-dive, preflight surface intervals (PFS). Methods …

Background The USN93 probabilistic model of decompression sickness (DCS) predicts a
DCS risk of 3.9% after a 40 ft of seawater (fsw) for 200 min no-stop air dive, although little …

Methods Following 75 or 90 min of ground-level preoxygenation, 54 male and 38 female
subjects were exposed to 35,000 ft for 3 h while performing strenuous exercise, mild …

Methods Subjects were 124 males who were exposed to simulated altitudes (11 at 11,500 ft;
10 at 15,000 ft; 8 at 16,500 ft; 10 at 18,100 ft; 10 at 19,800 ft; 20 at 21,200 ft; 20 at 22,500 ft; …

A review of the flying after diving literature for the Proceedings of the 1989 Flying After
Diving Workshop (1) found few human trials for altitudes of less than 8,000 feet (2). A new …

Methods After a 1-h resting preoxygenation, 67 subjects were exposed to 30,000 ft for 2-h
while performing mild, upper body exercise. The subjects were monitored for venous gas …
