摘要

我们假设,尽管较厚(≥7毫米)的潜水服可以延缓体温降低,并允许潜水员在较冷的水域潜水,但它们可能会阻碍肺功能。本研究的目的是调查塔斯马尼亚潜水者穿着较厚的潜水服是否会影响肺容量,主要是用力肺活量(FVC)和用力呼气量,一秒(FEV1)。方法:从休闲潜水俱乐部和塔斯马尼亚职业潜水行业招募62名志愿活跃潜水员。在确认潜水员的健康状况和目前的活动后,在一个受控的干燥环境中,潜水员穿着和不穿着通常的湿服进行肺活量测定。套装的厚度各不相同,但厚度均≥7 mm。结果:所有潜水员在穿着≥7 mm潜水衣时肺容量明显减少。与职业潜水员(-3% FVC, -3% FEV1)相比,休闲潜水员有更大的下降(-7% FVC和-5% FEV1)。男性肺容量下降-4% FVC和-4% FEV1,而女性肺容量下降- 7% FVC和- 6% FEV1。较厚的潜水服对女性休闲潜水员的负面影响最大(最多可减少15%的FVC),而且这一群体也证明了潜水服厚度增加与肺容量下降之间的反比关系。结论:在温带水域潜水时,穿着较厚的潜水衣有助于热保护,但本研究表明它对肺容量有负面影响。这种负面影响在现实生活中的影响对健康的潜水员来说可能很小,但可能会给健康状况不佳的休闲潜水人群带来额外的风险。

The influence of wetsuit thickness (≥ 7 mm) on lung volumes in scuba divers.

Introduction: We hypothesised that although thicker (≥ 7 mm) wetsuits delay hypothermia and allow divers to dive in cooler waters, they may hinder pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether thicker wetsuits worn by Tasmanian divers affected lung volumes, primarily the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume, one second (FEV1).

Methods: Sixty-two volunteer active divers were recruited from recreational dive clubs and Tasmania's occupational diving industry. After confirming fitness and that the divers were currently active, spirometry testing was performed with and without the divers' usual wet suits, in a controlled dry environment. Suits were of varying thickness, but all were ≥ 7 mm thickness.

Results: All divers had significantly reduced lung volumes when wearing ≥ 7 mm wetsuits. Recreational divers had greater decrements (-7% FVC and -5% FEV1), compared to occupational divers (-3% FVC, -3% FEV1). Males' lung volumes declined -4% FVC and -4 % FEV1, whereas females declined -7 % FVC and -6 % FEV1. Female recreational divers experienced the greatest negative impact from thicker wetsuits (up to 15% reduction in FVC), and this group also demonstrated an inverse relationship between increasing wetsuit thickness and declining lung volumes.

Conclusions: Wearing thicker wet suits aids in thermal protection in temperate water diving but this study suggests it has negative effects on lung volumes. The real-life impact of this negative effect may be minor in fit healthy divers but might add additional risk to a less fit, recreational diving population with medical comorbidities.

期刊介绍: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine (DHM) is the combined journal of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) and the European Underwater and Baromedical Society (EUBS). It seeks to publish papers of high quality on all aspects of diving and hyperbaric medicine of interest to diving medical professionals, physicians of all specialties, scientists, members of the diving and hyperbaric industries, and divers. Manuscripts must be offered exclusively to Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, unless clearly authenticated copyright exemption accompaniesthe manuscript. All manuscripts will be subject to peer review. Accepted contributions will also be subject to editing.
