Treatment Profiles Flashcards
Treatment table 5
Descent rate?
20 ft/min
Treatment Table 5
Used to treat what?
Decompression sickness type 1 or pain only
Treatment table 5
Ascent rate
Not to exceed 1 ft/min
Treatment table 5
When does oxygen time start?
Upon arrival at 60 fsw
Treatment table 5
What happens if pt has CNS oxygen toxicity?
Allow 15 min after reaction has entirely subsided and resume schedule at point of interruption
Treatment table 5
Can you extend oxygen breathing time if Sx persist?
Yes. May extend two oxygen-breathing at the 30 foot stop. No air break required between oxygen-breathing periods or prior to ascent
Treatment table 5
Explain tender treatment
Inside tender breathes 100% oxygen during ascent from 30 foot stop to surface.
If tender had previous hyperbaric exposure in previous 12 hours, an additional 20 min of oxygen breathing is required prior to ascent.
Treatment table 5
How long from surface to first stop
3 min from surface to 60 fsw (20 ft/min)
Treatment table 5
How long from hitting bottom to first air break?
20 minutes
Treatment table 5
How many breathing times before ascending to next stop?
Two
Treatment table 5
What is the depth of the second stop?
30 fsw
Treatment table 5
What is the ascent time and rate from 60 to 30 fsw
30 min
1 ft/min
Describe treatment table 5
3 min descent to 60 fsw, 20 min, 5 min air break, 20 min, 30 min ascent to 30 fsw, 5 min air break, 20 min, 5 min air break, 30 min ascent to surface
Treatment table 5
Total time
135 mi , 2 hrs 15 min, not including descent time
Treatment table 6
Used for what?
Decompression sickness - neurological and cardiopulmonary symptoms (type 2 and 3)
AGE, CAGE, VGE
Treatment table 6
What is the descent rate?
20 ft/min
Treatment table 6
What is the accent rate?
1 ft/min
Treatment table 6
When does oxygen time begin?
Upon arrival to 60 fsw
Treatment table 6
What do you do if CNS oxygen toxicity occurs?
Allow 15 min after rxn has entirely subsided and resume schedule at point of interruption
Treatment table 6
What can you do if Sx persist?
Can lengthen table up to 2 additional 25 min periods at 60 feet (20 min on oxygen and 5 min on air) or up to 2 additional 75 min periods at 30 fsw (15 min on air and 69 min on oxygen) or both
Treatment table 6
What does the inside tender do?
Tender breathes 100% oxygen during the last 30 min at 30 fsw and during ascent to the surface for an unmodified table, or where there has been only a single extension at 30 or 60 fsw. If there has been more than one extension, the oxygen breathing at 30 fsw is increased to 60 min. If the tender had a hyperbaric exposure within the past 12 hours an additional 60 min oxygen period is taken at 30 feet.
Describe treatment table 6
Descent in 3 min to 60 fsw (20 ft/min). 20 min oxygen, 5 min air, 20 min oxygen, 5 min air, 20 min oxygen, 5 min air, 30 min ascent to 30 fsw (1 ft/min), 15 min oxygen, 60 min air, 15 min air, 60 min oxygen, 30 min ascent to surface (1 ft/min)
Treatment table 6
What is total tx time?
285 min (4 hours and 45 min) not including descent time.
