Filter by:Research hypothesis - Diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas will affect the central nervous system. - Diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas will induce inflammatory changes. Objectives: - To investigate the presence of cerebrospinal biochemical markers in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas. - To investigate the presence of inflammatory markers in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas. - To investigate the presence of venous gas emboli (VGE) in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas.
Primary objective: - Assessment of venous gas emboli load post diving when breathing normobaric oxygen compared to air. Secondary objective: - Assessment of fluid markers of central nervous system injury in blood post diving - Assessment of fluid markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in blood post diving Tertiary objective: - Assessment of DCS frequency
