What is the most common cause of diver emergencies?
The most common injury in divers is ear barotrauma (Box 3-03). On descent, failure to equalize pressure changes within the middle ear space creates a pressure gradient across the eardrum.

What are 3 forces that cause pressure injuries?
Pressure injuries are areas of necrosis and often ulceration (also called pressure ulcers) where soft tissues are compressed between bony prominences and external hard surfaces. They are caused by unrelieved mechanical pressure in combination with friction, shearing forces, and moisture.

What is diving emergency?
Diving emergencies result from changes in ambient pressure, encompassing: decompression illness (decompression sickness. and arterial gas embolism), barotrauma and hypoxic blackouts.[1-6] • Decompression sickness (DCS)[1] Occurs if a diver is unable to perform a slow controlled ascent.

What are general diving emergencies signs and symptoms?
Symptoms include chest pain, coughing and shortness of breath, bloody or frothy sputum, headaches and/or dizziness, visual disturbances (including partial or full blindness), numbness and/or tingling, weakness or paralysis and loss of sensation in the body, and syncope.

What is the most serious injury that a diver could suffer from if they hold their breath upon ascending?
Air embolism is the most serious and most feared consequence of diving. While you are diving, gas bubbles can enter your circulatory system through small ruptured veins in your lungs. These bubbles expand during ascent and can pass through your heart to obstruct blood flow in the arteries of your brain or heart.
What is the biggest danger in scuba diving?
The most severe risks associated with scuba diving are arterial air embolism and decompression sickness(DCS). Air embolism occurs when air bubbles enter the bloodstream and block blood flow to the lungs.
What are two hazards of scuba diving?
Diving compressed gases (ie, scuba diving) can lead to two very serious medical conditions: Decompression Sickness (DCS), otherwise known as “the Bends,” and Pulmonary Over-Inflation Syndrome (POIS).
What is the common disease in divers?
Intracardiac and pulmonary right-to-left shunts are important causes of decompression sickness. Lung disease can predispose to pulmonary barotrauma and arterial gas embolism. Divers must have adequate ventilatory capacity to be able to dive safely and to perform a diver rescue.
What are the 5 emergency situations?
People often wonder whether it's best to call 911 or go straight to the hospital. Five emergency situations include chest pain, choking, stroke, heavy bleeding and severe head injury.
What are the 2 types of emergencies?
Types of Emergencies
- Armed Conflict.
- Natural Disasters.
- Technological or Man-Made Hazards.
What are the 3 P's of an emergency?
3Ps of Effective Emergency Response:
- People – Protect your people. They are your most valued asset.
- Perception – Ensure your response aligns with your number one priority – your people.
- Participation – Participate in the investigation. Protect your interests and confirm best practices are in place.
What are the 3 C's to respond to an emergency?
The Three C's of First Aid - Check, Call, and Care.
What are the 3 emergency action principle in first aid?
Check the Airway (head-tilt/chin lift). Check the Breathing (look, listen, feel). Check Circulation (carotid pulse).
What are 3 different locations on the body that pressure injuries can occur?
If you're bedridden, pressure sores can occur in a number of areas, including:
- back or sides of the head.
- rims of the ears.
- shoulders or shoulder blades.
- hipbones.
- lower back or tailbone.
- backs or sides of the knees.
- heels, ankles and toes.
What is a Stage 3 pressure injury?
Stage 3: Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible, but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling.
What are the three most common early signs of pressure damage?
Early symptoms
discoloured patches not turning white when pressed. a patch of skin that feels warm, spongy or hard. pain or itchiness in the affected area.
What is the rule of 3 diving?
The 'rule of thirds' means that you should use a third of your air for descending, a third for return, and then have a third left in reserve for your ascent.
What is a diving injury called?
This kind of injury is called barotrauma. As you descend, water pressure increases, and the volume of air in your body decreases. This can cause problems such as sinus pain or a ruptured eardrum. As you ascend, water pressure decreases, and the air in your lungs expands.
