Five consecutive cases of sensorineural hearing loss associated with inner ear barotrauma due to diving, successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Diving Hyperb Med
December 2024
Department of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, Royal Hobart Hospital, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
Introduction: This report describes the outcomes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to cochlear inner ear barotrauma (IEBt) in five divers treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT).
Methods: The case histories of five consecutive divers presenting with SNHL from IEBt due to diving, were reviewed. All divers provided written consent for their data to be included in the study.
Joint position statement on immersion pulmonary oedema and diving from the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) and the United Kingdom Diving Medical Committee (UKDMC) 2024.

TAC Healthcare Group, Wellheads Industrial Estate, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
This joint position statement (JPS) on immersion pulmonary oedema (IPO) and diving is the product of a workshop held at the 52nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) from 12-17 May 2024, and consultation with the United Kingdom Diving Medical Committee (UKDMC), three members of which attended the meeting. The JPS is a consensus of experts with relevant evidence cited where available. The statement reviews the nomenclature, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, prehospital treatment, investigation of and the fitness for future compressed gas diving following an episode of IPO.

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of California, San Diego, California, USA.
Introduction: Breath-hold divers occasionally surface with signs of fluid accumulation and/or bleeding in air-filled spaces. This constellation of symptoms, recently termed 'freediving induced pulmonary syndrome', is thought to come from immersion pulmonary oedema and/or barotrauma of descent and is colloquially termed a 'squeeze'. There is limited understanding of the causes, diagnosis, management, and return to diving recommendations after a squeeze.

Blast neurotrauma has been linked to impairments in higher-order cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and mood. Current literature is limited to a single overpressure exposure or repeated exposures at the same level of overpressure. In this study, a rodent model of primary blast neurotrauma was employed to determine the pressure at which acute and chronic neurological alterations occurred.

Article Synopsis
- Research examines how tunnel workers experience high pressure exposure compared to SCUBA divers, focusing on inflammation linked to decompression sickness (DCS).
- Despite longer high-pressure exposure in tunnel workers (4.1-4.9 hours) versus shorter exposure for divers (0.61 hours), blood analysis showed similar increases in blood microparticles and interleukin levels for both groups.
- Neutrophil counts and activation were significantly higher in tunnel workers, indicating that while microparticle levels stabilize quickly, neutrophil activation requires more time under high pressure conditions.
