ADVANCED Clinical Hyperbaric MEDICINE: Diving Emergency Management And Case-Based Reasoning For Residents Medicine Fellows

When a critically ill patient may benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, clinical teams must make accurate decisions under pressure. They must understand the physiology, recognise approved indications, evaluate the evidence, select suitable patients and coordinate safe treatment within a highly specialised environment.ADVANCED CLINICAL HYPERBARIC MEDICINE gives residents, fellows and practising clinicians a structured clinical reference for mastering hyperbaric oxygen therapy and diving-emergency management. Written for PGY-2 to PGY-5 residents in emergency medicine, surgery and internal medicine-as well as hyperbaric medicine fellows-the book connects essential science with practical bedside reasoning.Beginning with pressure physiology, gas laws, tissue oxygenation and oxygen toxicity, the book progresses through chamber design, fire safety, accreditation, patient screening and treatment monitoring. Readers receive detailed coverage of decompression illness, arterial gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic foot wounds, radiation tissue injury, necrotising infections, refractory osteomyelitis, compromised grafts and flaps, crush injury and other recognised hyperbaric indications.Dedicated sections examine emerging neurological applications, Long COVID, sickle cell disease, paediatric hyperbaric medicine, critically ill patients, mechanical ventilation in compressed environments, diving fitness, wound management and programme quality. Evidence appraisal is integrated throughout, helping readers distinguish established practice from investigational or unsupported use.The concluding clinical cases bring the material together through realistic diagnostic, treatment and multidisciplinary decision-making scenarios.Inside, readers will explore: - Hyperbaric physiology and clinical gas laws- Patient selection, contraindications and safety screening- Evidence-based HBO₂ treatment protocols- Diving emergencies and decompression illness- Wound care and acute surgical applications- Paediatric and critical-care hyperbaric medicine- Emerging indications and ethical patient communication- Chamber operations, quality assurance and programme management- Integrated case-based clinical reasoningBuild the knowledge and clinical reasoning required to assess hyperbaric cases with greater confidence.
