We sought to investigate the relationship between B-lines, oxygen saturation, and respiratory symptoms after competitive dives to diagnose pulmonary injury.Methods: We performed lung ultrasounds before (predive), immediately after (postdive), and within 1 h (follow-up) of a competitive dive. B-lines were counted in each intercostal space in the anterior, lateral, and posterior lung fields, and the highest number of B-lines within a space was recorded for each lung region. At follow-up, each diver's oxygen saturation and respiratory symptoms were recorded. Statistical analysis included the Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman's correlation, and sensitivity and specificity calculations.Results: Forty-four divers completed 143 individual dives of four different disciplines. The median number of B-lines was 0 (IQR inclusive=0) predive, 1 (IQR=3) postdive, and 0 (IQR=1) at follow-up. There was a significant difference in total B-lines between measurement times (p<0.001). Sensitivity and specificity of hypoxemia, clinically significant B-lines, and both measures in tandem in detecting respiratory symptomatology were 52% and 76%, 24% and 92%, and 24% and 95%, respectively.Conclusions: B-lines are a common phenomenon in competitive breath-hold divers on surfacing and decrease within 1 h, suggesting a physiologic fluid shift. B-lines are negatively correlated with oxygen saturation, indicating that extravascular fluid impairs gas exchange in the lung. Neither hypoxemia nor clinically significant B-lines were found to be reliable indicators for respiratory symptomatology, suggesting that there may be multiple phenotypes of freediving-induced pulmonary syndrome.","PeriodicalId":49360,"journal":{"name":"Wilderness & Environmental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"409-416"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142299434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has suggested that performance on balance testing may be affected by hypocapnia. In this study, we sought to determine whether acute hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia affects performance on the SRT at 501 meters above sea level.Methods: We recruited 22 healthy subjects. Each subject performed a baseline SRT. Subjects were then asked to hyperventilate to the point of hypocapnia, confirmed by measurement with a capnometer. Subjects were then asked to re-perform SRT. The primary endpoint was time to loss of balance, measured as time-to-stepout.Results: Time-to-stepout (TTS) on SRT at baseline had a mean ± standard deviation of 101 ± 117 s. In the hypocapnic condition, TTS was reduced to 48 ± 68 s. TTS normalized to 121 ± 132 s after recovery to normal capnic levels. Time-to-stepout was found to be significantly shorter in the hypocapnic measurement compared to the baseline measurement (P = .0128). Statistical analysis was conducted using one-tailed, paired sample T-tests using a P-value of < .05.Conclusions: Our study found a statistically and clinically significant reduction in performance on a balance test (SRT) when exposed to acute hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia compared to a eucapnic control. Our results suggest that acute hypocapnia may contribute to neurological dysfunction independently of hypobaric hypoxia.","PeriodicalId":49360,"journal":{"name":"Wilderness & Environmental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"417-421"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142299432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mills Jr., an Alaskan orthopedic surgeon, helped establish the current protocols for frostbite treatment and changed a dogma used for more than 140 years that was established by Napoleon's surgeon general of the army, Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey. During Napoleon's 1812 siege of Moscow, Larrey noticed the destructive effects of using open fire heat for warming frozen body parts, so he suggested rubbing snow or immersion in cold water. Dr Mills treated many cold injuries during his medical career. After setting up his medical practice in Anchorage, Alaska, he realized the inefficiency of the established protocols and started researching new treatments for frostbite. Dr Mills followed Meryman's method of rapidly thawing frozen red blood cells in warm water. Mills and his colleagues established a treatment protocol for freezing cold injury that included rapid warming in warm water. These studies resulted in the publication of three key papers in 1960 and 1961. These papers were the first clinical studies that described rapid warming as a treatment. Subsequently, rapid warming, with some variation in water temperatures, has been accepted as the standard of treatment. Due to his outstanding contribution to the treatment of frostbite, he has been referred to as \"the nation's leading authority on cold injury.\" Mills and his colleagues created a new classification system that divided frostbite into two levels, superficial and deep, which was more applicable in clinics than the traditional 4-tier classification. The 2-tier classification is still useful outside of the hospital setting.","PeriodicalId":49360,"journal":{"name":"Wilderness & Environmental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"496-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on survival at sea prediction curves and cooling rates from physiology studies, cold water (eg, 0-5°C) immersion is expected to drop core temperature by 2 to 4°C/h. Furthermore, accidental hypothermia classification systems predict that severely hypothermic patients are usually unconscious and not shivering. The patient in this report rewarmed rapidly at 3.6°C/h with only minimally invasive measures and was discharged fully neurologically intact. In 41 similar cases of survival in moderate to severe hypothermia with core temperatures <32°C due to cold water immersion, cold air exposure, or avalanche burial, mean cooling rates were 4.3±3.3°C/h (range 0.4-10.6°C/h). Including the current patient, shivering was reported in only four cases. We found several other cases of rewarming from moderate to severe hypothermia with only minimally invasive measures. The current and summarized cases lead us to conclude that patients may be at risk of severe hypothermia in <60 min of cold water immersion and that it is possible for severely hypothermic patients to have preserved consciousness, close to normal vital signs, and shivering. Minimally invasive or noninvasive rewarming of patients with severe hypothermia is also possible, especially in those who continue to shiver. Hypothermia management should not necessarily be guided by classification systems or core temperature alone but rather by a careful consideration of the entire clinical picture.","PeriodicalId":49360,"journal":{"name":"Wilderness & Environmental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"450-461"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142367181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
