How Divers Seek Help and Advice for Signs and Symptoms of DCI
Description
This study “How Divers Seek Help and Advice for Signs and Symptoms of DCI”
is designed to try and understand what happens when a diver experiences
signs and symptoms of DCI. Why do some divers wait several hours
before seeking help, why do some divers fail to seek help at all? Data
from a trial study conducted in 2007 and at LIDS 2008 showed there were
several interesting factors that may influence the way in which divers
sought help, so DDRC now need to gather more data. As studies have
shown a relationship between the time from symptoms to time of
treatment and lasting effects, this study is potentially a valuable
contribution to our understanding of the treatment of DCI.
