Emergency treatment for diving accidents prioritizes high-concentration oxygen administration. Demand regulators are recommended for field use, while hyperbaric oxygen therapy is crucial for definitive care.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Diving Medicine
  • Toxicology

Context:

  • Diving accidents are infrequent but critical medical emergencies.
  • Standard emergency protocols may not fully address diving-related injuries.
  • Pre-hospital oxygen administration is vital.

Purpose:

  • To review current practices in managing diving accidents.
  • To highlight the importance of oxygen therapy in diving emergencies.
  • To compare different oxygen delivery systems for field use.

Summary:

  • Oxygen is the primary medication for diving accidents, with a recommended inspired oxygen concentration (F(I)O(2)) of 1.0.
  • Demand regulators are user-friendly and effective for field oxygen delivery.
  • Normobaric oxygen therapy should be continuous, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the definitive treatment.

Impact:

  • Informed selection of appropriate oxygen delivery devices for pre-hospital care.
  • Improved patient outcomes through timely and effective oxygen therapy.
  • Guidance for emergency responders on managing diving emergencies.
