Pressure-related injury research covering middle ear, sinus, pulmonary, and thoracic barotrauma, with attention to mechanisms, risk factors, prevention, and clinical management.
Pulmonary barotrauma represents a significant risk during deep breath-hold diving. This review examines the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, and management of lung squeeze and related pulmonary injuries in freedivers.
View PublicationMiddle ear barotrauma is the most common injury in freediving. This study examines equalization techniques, prevalence of barotrauma among competitive freedivers, and preventive strategies.
