Breathing Gas Analysis • Chamber Atmosphere O2 (20.5% - 23.5%) CO2 (< 1.0% SEV) • Patients O2 (> 98.0%) CO2 ( < 1.0% SEV)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Program • Each year, 300 patients breathe 100% oxygen at about 2 times atmospheric pressure • 13 UHMS approved conditions including air embolism, decompression sickness, CO poisoning, gas gangrene, problem wounds
Education Program • Graduate students • Intern & resident training • 12 month Diving & Hyperbaric Medicine Fellowship (2 per year) • Semester course in the “Physiology & Medicine of Extreme Environments”
Research Program • Supporting agencies • National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute • National Aviation & Space Agency • Navy, Army, Air Force • National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration • Divers Alert Network • Commercial diving companies

Flying After Diving Recreational Diving High Altitude Parachuting (Divers Alert Network) (Army Special Forces)
Differential Gene Expression • Affymetrix U133A chip measures 14,000 genes per sample • Response to decompression stress (ONR) • Genetic predisposition to IPE (NAVSEA)
Immersion Pulmonary Edema • Sudden dyspnea, hemoptysis during swim/dive. Can be fatal • Divers, triathletes, Navy trainees (NEDU, BUD/S) • Pathophysiology may be exaggerated increase in pulmonary vascular pressures during immersed exercise in cold water
Biochemical Modification of Susceptibility to Mountain Sickness (DARPA) • Can adaptation to altitude be accelerated by a combination of several drugs? • Can exercise performance be improved? • Increase systemic blood flow without increasing pulmonary blood flow? • Initial tests in mice, then humans
