Abstract

There is interest among technical, expedition, commercial, and military divers in expanding diving operations to high altitude. However, altitude diving presents unique challenges including acclimatization, increased decompression sickness (DCS) risk, and logistical and equipment considerations. Divers must plan altitude acclimatization strategies conservatively to reduce risk of acute mountain sickness and dehydration before diving. Several methods of augmenting sea level diving tables to be used at altitude have been theorized and tested both in simulated dives and high-altitude expeditions. With proper acclimatization, augmentation of standard diving tables, equipment, and safety planning, diving at high altitude may be performed in many contexts safely while minimizing risk of DCS or injury.

将水肺潜水推向新高度:高海拔潜水的方法、减压和后勤考虑因素。
技术潜水员、探险潜水员、商业潜水员和军事潜水员都有兴趣将潜水活动扩展到高海拔地区。然而,高海拔潜水带来了独特的挑战,包括适应性、减压病(DCS)风险增加以及后勤和设备方面的考虑。潜水员必须保守地规划高海拔适应策略,以降低潜水前急性高山病和脱水的风险。在模拟潜水和高海拔探险中,已经提出并测试了几种增强海平面潜水表在高海拔地区使用的方法。通过适当的适应性训练、增强标准潜水表、装备和安全计划,在许多情况下都可以安全地进行高海拔潜水,同时最大限度地减少高山反应或受伤的风险。

期刊介绍: High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
