Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study aims at an epidemiological description of the clinical presentation of medical problems in technical diving. It assess anthropometric data, diving experience and dive planification, clinical presentation, treatment received and pronostic to understand specificity of this community.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In recent years, the increased availability of breathing gas mixtures, together with progressive technical development of specialized diving equipment, has contributed to expansion of the diver's community. Deep and long dives expose to decompression sickness (DCS) risk and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is the definitive treatment. Incidence, clinical expression or prognosis of pathological events after technical diving might differ from recreational ones. A better knowledge of these specificity will facilitate risk assessment, analysis and medical care for hyperbaric physician community.
