Water covers over 70% of the earth, has varying depths and temperatures and contains
much of the earth's resources. Head-out water immersion (HOWI) or submersion at various …

Acute pulmonary oedema has been described in individuals participating in three aquatic
activities:(i) scuba diving;(ii) breath-hold diving; and (iii) endurance swimming. In this review …

Background—Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) occurs during swimming or
scuba diving, often in young individuals with no predisposing conditions, and its …

Diving-related pulmonary effects are due mostly to increased gas density, immersion-related
increase in pulmonary blood volume, and (usually) a higher inspired Po2. Higher gas …

Introduction: The mechanism of immersion pulmonary oedema occurring in healthy divers is
a matter of debate. Among consecutive injured divers admitted to our hyperbaric centre, we …

Pulmonary edema occurring in divers using a self-contained underwater breathing
apparatus (scuba) is an uncommon, probably under-reported, but potentially life-threatening …

OBJECTIVES To characterise diving exposure and pulmonary function in professional
divers at the start of their formal education and during the first 3 years of their professional …

Importance: Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a rare but important complication
associated with surface swimming and underwater diving. It tends to reoccur and can be …

When diving, human beings are exposed to hazards that are unique to the hyperbaric
underwater environment and the physical behavior of gases at higher ambient pressure …

Aims: To analyse longitudinal changes in pulmonary function in professional divers and their
relation with cumulative diving exposure. Methods: The study included 87 men at the start of …
