a few references re. the above (from medline) MKFINDER 1 TI - [Scuba diving and pregnancy. A case report and review of the literature] TT - [Buceo y embarazo. Informe de un caso y revision de la literatura.] SO - Ginecol Obstet Mex 1995 May;63:202-4 AU - Sauceda Gonzalez LF; Gavino Gavino F; Ahued Ahued JR; Hernandez Gonzalez Y AD - Centro Medico Nacional 20 de Noviembre, ISSSTE. PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AB - The number of women in childbearing age participating in SCUBA dividing is increasing. Some dives during first trimester before pregnancy is confirmed. The preoccupation of both parents, is that the child could have any damage in the embryonal stage. This is a review of the literature and we present one case of a patient 28 years old with one immersion of 25 meters, at 28 days of gestation. The child did not present any congenital deformity at birth and his growth and development in the eighteen months have been normal. 2 TI - [Two cases of idiopathic pneumopericardium] SO - Kokyu To Junkan 1991 Jan;39(1):95-7 AU - Takahashi K; Nagao K; Momokawa T; Maruyama A; Fujita H; Ono S; Takeuchi K; Takahashi S; Koie H AD - Department of Surgery, Aomori Rohsai Hospital. PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AB - Idiopathic pneumopericardium (I.P.) is a rare disease which occurs in a manner etiologically different from pneumopericardium. Recently, we encountered two apparent cases of I.P. at the Department of Surgery, Aomori Rhosai Hospital. Results of observation indicated that, in case 1, diving practice in a pool was the cause of the sickness, and in case 2, the cause was severe morning sickness during pregnancy. Unlike pneumopericardium that comes from traumatism, lesions of the surrounding organs, infection iatrogenicity and the like, the present cases were diagnosed as idiopathic pneumopericardium resulting from rupture of a number of alveoli due to transitory abnormal increase in Valsalva maneuver at expiration. 3 TI - Women and the hazardous environment: when the pregnant patient requires hyperbaric oxygen therapy. SO - Aviat Space Environ Med 1987 Apr;58(4):370-4 AU - Jennings RT MJ - Aerospace Medicine; Diving [adverse effects]; Hyperbaric Oxygenation; Pregnancy Complications [etiology] PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AB - Women are now being exposed in increasing numbers to environmental hazards. Normal operations in that environment plus accidents or training procedures may result in conditions such as decompression sickness, air embolus, hyperoxia, or carbon monoxide poisoning occurring in a woman who also happens to be pregnant. This article examines the animal data and human experience in these conditions in both early and late gestation. The risk of these conditions to the mother and fetus is assessed compared to the problems associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in pregnancy. Suggestions are made regarding the appropriate use of HBO therapy in pregnancy. Further medical investigation is requested. 4 TI - Women and scuba diving.

PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AB - Daily diving patterns and thoracic skin and sea-water temperatures were recorded during the entire work shift of Korean female unassisted (cachido) and Japanese male unassisted and partly assisted (funado) divers using Underwater Physiological Data Loggers developed in Buffalo and Japan. All 3 groups of divers were studied during the summer of 1989 and 1990. Additional studies were conducted during the winter of 1991 on Korean female divers who, unlike Japanese divers, dive all year round. The water temperature of the diving grounds in summer was 24 degrees C in both Korea and Japan, and 10 degrees C during winter in Korea. Both Korean female and Japanese male cachido divers made 113-138 dives a day and stayed in the water a total of 170-200 min.day-1, of which only 52-63 min were spent diving submerged, and the remaining time at the water surface. These diving patterns were not different between female and male cachido divers. Compared with Japanese male divers, Korean female divers dived to a shallower depth (3.7 vs. 6.9 m) with shorter dive time (29 vs. 37 s) and shorter bottom time (14 vs. 18 s). Velocities of descent (0.72 vs. 0.47 m.s-1) and ascent (0.77 vs. 0.56 m.s-1) were also slower in female divers than in male divers. The diving pattern of Korean female divers was similar in both summer and winter. Although all cachido divers wore wet suits and thus were protected from severe cold stress, thoracic skin temperature decreased during a work shift by 7 degrees C in winter (vs. 1 degree C in summer) in Korean divers. Compared with Japanese male cachido divers, Japanese male funado divers stayed in the diving ground (including time in the boat) longer (201 vs. 305 min.day-1) but performed only 23 dives per day. The average diving depth (9.7 m), duration (69 s), and bottom time for each dive (45 s), however, were significantly greater in funados. The velocity of vertical descent (1.0 m.s-1) was also significantly greater in funados because they descend w ith a weight (8-12 kg). The rate of ascent was not different. 9 TI - Study of precious coral diver survey with open circuit air SCUBA diving at 108m.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
