$30.00 USD
Deco For Divers By Mark Powell - eBook (A Divers Guide to Decompression Theory & Physiology) Deco For Divers 2nd Edition Fully updated and revised. Award winning Deco for Divers provides a comprehensive overview of the principles underlying decompression theory. Mark Powell has written a book that for the first time allows the average diver to fully understand the principles behind this fascinating aspect of diving. This book bridges the gap between introductory books and source scientific information. Contents: Introduction 1. Historical Perspective Robert Boyle (1627–1691) Rediscovery Caissons Disease Paul Bert (1833–1886) John Scott Haldane (1860–1936) US Navy Robert Workman Professor Albert Bühlmann (1923–1994) 2. Decompression Principles Overview The Air we Breathe The Effects of Pressure Dalton’s Law The Lungs Henry’s Law Diffusion Gas Transport Perfusion Saturation Tissue Compartments Half Times Supersaturation Critical Supersaturation Controlling Ratio M-Values Ascent Rates No-Stop Dives Bubble Formation Silent Bubbles Safety Stops Decompression Stops Oxygen Window 3. Decompression Illness Burst Lung Arterial Gas Embolism (AGE) Interstitial Emphysema Pneumothorax Decompression Sickness Decompression Classification Type I Type II Type III Type IV Reclassification of DCS and AGE Symptoms of the Bends by Frequency Time of Onset of Symptoms Predisposing Factors Dehydration Dive Profiles Repetitive Diving Temperature Obesity Exercise Smoking Age Flying after Diving Reverse Profile Previous Injury PFO Lung Shunts Doppler Bubble Detection Medical Implications of DCI First Aid Oxygen 5 Minute Neurological Exam Recompression In-Water Recompression Omitted Decompression 4.
