OVERVIEW

UHM Journal-Based CME Volume 50, Issue 3 is organized by Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS).

Date of the activity’s original release: September 5, 2023
Termination date: September6, 2026

Goal:
For over 50 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:

  • To be able to discuss the mechanisms by which intraocular pressure may be altered by neck compression.
  • To be able to evaluate the effect of drysuit neck seals on both pressure exerted on the neck and, subsequently, intraocular pressure.
  • Determine a systematic way in which to evaluate a device for safety to use in the clinical hyperbaric environment.
  • Understand the unique characteristics of the hyperbaric environment which may give concern to the use of electronic devices.
  • Explain how the use of point-of-care ultrasound inside a multiplace hyperbaric chamber may assist diagnosis and treatment in clinical hyperbaric medicine.
