A Review of Asthma and Scuba Diving
Journal of Asthma, 2002An increasing number of asthmatics participate in recreational scuba diving. This activity presents unique physical and physiological challenges to the respiratory system. This review addresses the susceptibility of divers with asthma to diving accidents, acute asthmatic attacks, and long-term exacerbation of their disease.

Diving Into Research of Biomedical Engineering in Scuba Diving
IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, 2017The physiologic response of the human body to different environments is a complex phenomenon to ensure survival. Immersion and compressed gas diving, together, trigger a set of responses. Monitoring those responses in real time may increase our understanding of them and help us to develop safety procedures and equipment.

Pneumocephalus After an Uneventful Scuba Dive
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010Scuba diving has become increasingly popular in the last 20 yr. Although it is considered safe, accidents, sometimes with fatal outcomes, do occur. The incidence of diving-related CNS barotrauma is low and it has been reported very infrequently. The clinical presentation may range from minimal dysesthesias to complete quadriplegia, encephalopathy, or ...

Bleomycin and scuba diving: where is the harm?
The Lancet Oncology, 2007Testicular cancer is the most frequent malignant disease in men aged 15–40 years. Due to its sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, most patients, including those with widespread metastatic disease, can now be cured. Bleomycin is an essential component of the most effective chemotherapy regimen for testicular cancer—ie, bleomycin, etoposide, and ...

Is it safe to SCUBA dive with asthma?
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2019Introduction: Internationally it is estimated that six million people participate in self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving each year. Registries suggest a significant proportion of divers have a current or historical diagnosis of asthma. Previously individuals with asthma were prohibited from diving, however, several contemporary

Scuba Diving and Bleomycin Therapy
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1990To the Editor.— The advice given by Drs Jules-Elysee and Stover in Questions and Answers 1 regarding safe return to scuba diving following bleomycin sulfate therapy is not entirely correct. While most scuba divers breathe compressed air (21% oxygen), the partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air is a direct function of the depth of the dive.

My use of the word oxygen instead of compressed air was inadvertent, and I should have picked it up when the copy was sent to me for checking before publication. I am familiar with the various gas mixtures used by divers at different depths and realize that no diver would use pure oxygen under most circumstances.

To the Editor: —One omission from the excellent remarks on medical aspects of SCUBA diving by Drs. Salzman and Jung in the Oct. 27 issue ofThe Journal( 182 :34) was underscored by the sentence: "By using compressed air a diver can descend without too much danger to a depth of 125 feet." The omission, of course, is discussion of decompression sickness ...
