Hi Jim,
In the US, the USN Treatment Table 6 is the most commonly used DCS and AGE therapy table. There are however many tables and depths used for those treatments available for the Dive Medical Officer.
One publication you might find interesting while on your quest for info is:
Berghage, TE; Vorosmarti Jr, J; Barnard, EEP. (1978) Recompression Treatment Tables Used Throughout the World by Government and Industry. Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC) Technical Report NMRI-78-16. RRR ID:
3414
And Dick Clarke has a nice presentation you can download from National Baromedical Services
here.
USN Treatment tables:
1A - Air treatment table (max depth 100 fsw)
2A - Air treatment table (max depth 165 fsw)
3 - Air treatment table (max depth 165 fsw)
4 - Air treatment table (max depth 165 fsw)
5 - Oxygen treatment table (max depth 60 fsw)
6 - Oxygen treatment table (max depth 60 fsw)
6A - Air/ Oxygen treatment table (max depth 165 fsw)
7 - Air treatment table (max depth 60 fsw)
additional treatment tables for clinical HBO use in Navy facilities.
More info on these can be found in the ever valuable
USN Diving Manual.
Other tables used in the US less often but still common would be the Catalina Table (Oxygen treatment table - max depth 60 fsw) and the Hawaiian treatment tables:
HTC 280 - Air, Nirtox, and Oxygen treatment table (max depth 280 fsw)
HTC 220 - Air, Nirtox, and Oxygen treatment table (max depth 220 fsw)
HTC 160 - Air, Nirtox, and Oxygen treatment table (max depth 160 fsw)
HTC 60 - Oxygen treatment table (max depth 60 fsw)
More info on the Hawaiian tables can be found:
Smerz, RW; Overlock, RK; Nakayama, H. Hawaiian deep treatments: efficacy and outcomes, 1983-2003. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2005 Sep-Oct;32(5):363-73. RRR ID:
4054
and one of the more interesting pro-con debates with Alf Brubakk and Richard Moon
here.
If this is still not enough for you... The are always the Royal Navy and Comex treatment tables to read up on and if you really want to go out on a limb some, our suggested reading for
In-water Recompression.
Good luck!
