Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) diving is growing, with injuries often linked to gas behavior and pressure changes. Awareness of diving medicine principles and injury management is crucial for physicians.

Area of Science:

  • Diving Medicine
  • Hyperbaric Physiology

Background:

  • SCUBA diving is increasingly popular, with millions participating globally.
  • Advances in equipment and diver education have improved safety.
  • Diving injuries are primarily linked to gas behavior and pressure changes during ascents and descents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the principles of diving medicine.
  • To discuss the pathophysiology of common diving injuries.
  • To outline the acute and long-term management of diving-related injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diving principles and gas laws.
  • Analysis of common diving pathologies: barotrauma, decompression illness, gas toxicity.
  • Discussion of clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches.

  • Outline of treatment protocols for diving injuries.

    • Main Results:

    • Four main diving pathologies identified: barotrauma, decompression illness (DCI), pulmonary edema, and gas toxicity.
    • Injuries manifest during or up to 24 hours post-dive.
    • Physicians must be prepared to manage diving injuries, even remotely.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding diving physiology is essential for recognizing and treating injuries.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are critical for diver recovery.
    • This review aims to equip physicians with knowledge for effective patient care.
