OVERVIEW

UHM Journal-Based CME Volume 51, Issue 1 is organized by Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS).

Dabbbte of the activity’s original release: April 19, 2024
Termination date: April 19, 2027

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

  • Summarize pneumothorax presentations and nuances related to in-chamber diagnosis. 
  • Review the mechanistic basis for non-surgical management of in-chamber pneumothorax.
  • The reader should understand how distinct frequency band components of acquired bio-electrical impedance signals can be correlated with the detection of: a) post-dive bubbles (diagnosis of Decompression Sickness) and b) arterial endothelial dysfunction, which are markers of decompression stress.
  • The reader should recognize the advantages of electrical impedance spectroscopy over the ultrasound imaging, with regard to the assessment of decompression stress.
  • The reader should realize that bio-electrical impedance measurements are simple to perform and can provide valuable information for different pathological situations.
