A friend of mine is getting her master's in Occupational Therapy. In one of her classes, she has to give a presentation and has chosen "diving physiology & decompression sickness", and has asked me to help her out.
Criteria: 10 mins max; 10 power point slides max; 3 "scholarly" resources cited; documentation of current on-going research on the topic.
So, this is not to be a signs and symptoms list. It needs to show what makes DCI even a potential hazard. So, I'm thinking start with Boyle's law and move forward.
1. Any quick an easy visual demo's of Boyle's law that doesn't include bringing in a bell jar and a hoover into the classroom? We can imbed a video into the PP if necessary.
2. Although we can probably use the Rescue diver manual for certain citations, the majority need to be "medical-based" documents. I found this on DAN's site:
https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/medical/articles/article.asp?articleid=65
If you know of other / better articles, I'd really appreaciate it.
3. I'm thinking Boyle's law, into what happens to gases in the bloodstream while at depth/pressue. Then into Nitrogen. Then into what Nitrogen / gases / bubbles can do while ascending / decreasing pressure.
I am by no means a guru on this stuff. I've just geeked out during training by reading various things from Padi, DAN and any magazines that hit the subject. So, please feel free to throw a few suggestions if you've done a report like this or have more knowledge than I do (which isn't hard).
