NCT03190252

Brief Summary

Research hypothesis

  • Diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas will affect the central nervous system.
  • Diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas will induce inflammatory changes. Objectives:
  • To investigate the presence of cerebrospinal biochemical markers in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas.
  • To investigate the presence of inflammatory markers in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas.
  • To investigate the presence of venous gas emboli (VGE) in blood after diving to depths up to 90msw with an oxygen partial pressure of 130kPa in the breathing gas.
