What do Emergency Medicine Physicians Specializing in Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine do?
Emergency medicine physicians specializing in Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) diagnose and treat conditions related to high-pressure environments, such as diving accidents and exposure to altered atmospheres.
They utilize hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) to treat a range of conditions, including decompression illness, carbon monoxide poisoning, non-healing wounds, radiation-related tissue damage, and certain infections.
This subspecialty also involves understanding the physiology of pressure, assessing diving fitness, managing hyperbaric chambers, and contributing to research in these areas.
What they do
Diagnosing and Treating Diving Accidents: They provide immediate and long-term care for diving emergencies, such as decompression sickness and arterial gas emboli.
Administering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO): They prescribe and manage HBO to promote healing by delivering high concentrations of oxygen under pressure for various conditions, such as:
- Diving emergencies
- Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
- Severe infections: (e.g., gas gangrene, bone infections)
- Complex wounds: (e.g., compromised skin grafts, diabetic wounds)
- Radiation injuries: (tissue damage from radiation therapy)
Assessing and Managing Pressure-Related Risks: They evaluate the risks associated with diving and hyperbaric chamber operations, providing expertise in preventing disease and injury in these environments.
Evaluating Fitness for Diving: They assess an individual’s health to determine their fitness for activities in high-pressure environments.
Research and Consultation: They participate in research on the effects of pressure on the human body and serve as consultants on hyperbaric chamber operations and other aspects of the specialty.
Addressing Diverse Patient Populations: Their patients can include recreational and commercial divers, individuals with chronic wounds, and those suffering from radiation therapy complications.
