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.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We developed an online survey that queried breath-hold divers on the circumstances and management of individual squeeze events.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 132 (94 M, 38 F) breath-hold divers filled out the survey. Most were recreational or competitive freedivers with mean age of 37 years old and nine years of experience. Of those, 129 (98%) held a certification in freediving from an accredited training agency. A total of 103 individuals reported 140 squeeze events from 2008-2023. The average depth at which a squeeze occurred was 43 m. The top contributors to lung squeezes were described as movement at depth, contractions, and inadequate warm-up. The most common symptoms of a squeeze were cough, sputum production, and fatigue. Divers were instructed to wait an average of two months before returning to diving after a squeeze. On average, divers were able to achieve the same depth of their squeeze event three months after the incident.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Inadequate warm-up, contractions, and abnormal movement at depth are the most reported causes for a squeeze. Most divers do not seek medical treatment after a lung squeeze event and can return to the same depth within three months.</p>","PeriodicalId":11296,"journal":{"name":"Diving and hyperbaric medicine","volume":"54 4","pages":"281-286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12018692/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142827820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
