  • Title: Diving injuries.
    Author: Dickey LS.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1984; 1(3):249-62. PubMed ID: 6491243.
    Abstract:
    This is a collective review about the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of SCUBA and diving injuries by the emergency physician. These injuries can be classified into those resulting from the toxic effects of the inhaled gas, from the pressure changes in the water and gas mixture while diving, and from decompression sickness. With the increasing popularity of SCUBA diving, it is hoped that this discussion will enable a recognition of these injuries and therefore minimize the morbidity and mortality from them.
