OVERVIEW

UHM Journal-Based CME Volume 50, Issue 2 is organized by Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS).

Date of the activity’s original release: August 23, 2023
Termination date: August 23, 2026

Goal:
For over 45 years the UHMS has been the primary source of information for hyperbaric medicine and physiology worldwide. This evidence based, peer-reviewed scientific journal-based CME has as its goal to address identified professional practice gaps and provide a quality CME opportunity which will improve scientific knowledge and skills for undersea, hyperbaric and wound care physicians, nurses and technicians, and other clinicians and personnel whose practice includes undersea, hyperbaric medicine and wound care.

Objectives:

  • Understand the need for revision of the Swedish Armed Forces (SwAF) air dive tables and the aim of the study in developing new tables.
  • Gain knowledge about the probabilistic models and deterministic algorithms used in the study to estimate the risk of decompression sickness (DCS) and neurological decompression sickness (CNS-DCS) during direct ascent air dives.
  • Understand that reported narcosis-like symptoms are not only explained by classic “narcosis” mechanisms, but other freediving specific understanding.
  • We propose another term to address the narcosis-like symptoms encountered during free diving FTCI: Freediving Transient Cognitive Impairment
  • Understand the importance of early HBO2 therapy in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
  • To describe the impact of early HBO2 therapy on hearing loss and tinnitus in patients with idiopathic SSNHL.
