43
Where is the first period of Surface D spent and for how long?
50 FSW for 15 minutes
44
How long is a period in surface D?
30 min
45
How fast does the diver surface following O2 periods?
30 f/min
46
How fast do you travel from 50 FSW to 40FSW in first Surd O2 period?
After 15 min, travel at 30 f/min to 40 FSW
47
How many periods are spent at 40 FSW? Surd
2-4
48
How many periods are spent at 30 FSW? Surd
>4
49
How do you travel to 30 FSW if more than 4 periods? Surd
On air break at 30 f/min
50
How long are the air breaks on Sur D?
5 minutes
51
For SUR D, how is a diver surfaced following last O2 period?
Off O2 Ascend 30 f/min to surface
52
SURD D surface interval (40fsw to 50 Feet in chamber) is greater than 5 minutes but less than 7 minutes procedure?
Add 15 minutes at 50 fsw After 30 minutes on O2 at 50FSW, OFF O2, travel to 40 FSW at 30 f/min on air On air for 5 minutes Back on O2 (Basically add another half period)
53
Sur D surface interval is greater than 7 minutes procedure?
Compress to 60 Treat on TT5 for 2 or fewer O2 periods required Treat on TT6 for >2 O2 periods required
54
What happens if the diver can't make it down to 50 FSW on SUR D and SUR D was initiated deeper than 20 fsw in water?
Attempt to gradually compress diver to 30 Feet in the chamber Double all O2 periods Conduct 15 minute air breaks every 60 minutes of O2 Surface diver at 30 feet per min following all O2 periods
55
What do you do for If symptoms of Type I decompression sickness occur during travel from 40 fsw to the surface during surface decompression or during the surface undress phase?
compress the diver to 50 fsw Delay neurological exam until the diver reaches the 50-fsw stop and is on oxygen If Type I symptoms resolve during the 15 minute 50-fsw stop, the surface interval was 5 minutes or less, and no neurological signs are found, increase the 50 fsw oxygen time from 15 to 30 minutes then continue normal decompression
56
What If Type I symptoms do not resolve during the 15 minute 50-fsw stop OR symptoms resolve but the surface interval was greater than 5 minutes?
compress the diver to 60 fsw on oxygen. Treat the diver on Treatment Table 5 if the original schedule required 2 or fewer oxygen periods in the chamber. Treat the diver on Treatment Table 6 if the original schedule required 2.5 or more oxygen periods in the chamber.
57
DCS II Symptoms during SI of SURD?
Compress to 60 Treat on TT6
58
Loss of O2 in the chamber during SURD is temporary?
* Breathe chamber air * Any time spent on air is dead time and return diver to O2 breathing when O2 is fixed
59
Loss of O2 in the chamber during SUR D is permanent?
* Complete dceompression on 50/50 OR on air * If on 50/50 multiply remaining O2 time by 2 * Air breaks are not required
60
Loss of O2 and no 50/50 for SUR D?
* First calculate all remaining O2 time required for the SUR D * Then calculate total air decompression time required if the in-water decompression was conducted * Then calculate the total O2 decompression time required if the in-water decompression was conducted * Divide the total air time by the total O2 time of in-water deco (This is your ratio of air to O2 stop time) * The remaining required total time in the chamber on air is your ratio multiplied by your initial O2 chamber time remaining. (9-12.8) * Take this total time and multiply it by .1 at 40 FSW, .2 at 30 FSW, and .7 at 20 FSW.
61
Uncontrolled ascent with no missed decompression, asymptomatic. What do you do?
Observe on surface for one hour
62
Chamber is not leaving surface, what do you check?
* If no noise - check line-up * If noise - check soft seal and check if exhaust is open
63
Chamber is ascending on it's own, what do you check?
* Secure both exhaust (large and fine) * Add to maintain
64
Chamber is descending on it's own, what do you check?
*** OFF O2 *** * OK in the chamber? * Secure primary and secondary * EXHAUST * Secure air bibs and O2 bibs * Check scrubber
65
of valves to switch to secondary?
Close primary Open secondary
66
What's the difference between TT1a and TT2a?
66 feet <66 feet and PAIN ONLY - 1A >66 feet and PAIN Only - 2A
67
Fire?
OFF O2 All on air bibs Fight the fire withe everything you got Hurricane once the fire is out
68
Loss of O2 >2hours
* Air table at current depth * Ask UMO to switch to 50/50
69
When does tender breathe on tt9?
Last 15 minutes and to surface
70
On second period of O2 with 15 minutes into it, patient hears loud noises what do you do?
* ASk IT if he hears it * Off O2 * treat ask O2 hit
71
Treatment for CO Poisoning?
** Dive manual says severe CO poisoning is treated on TT6
72
What depth do you go to if knowingly you have no O2 for DCS 2 pain?
165 treat on 3A
73
When is treatment table 4 used when using air table?
No relief within first 30 min of tt3
74
What depth do you go to if you knowingly have no o2 and you’re treating for pain only DCS?
65 initially Pain reliever <66 = TT1 so go to 100 Pain relieves deeper than 66 = TT2 so go to 165
75
You switch to an air table because you have o2 loss greater than 2 hours and symptoms are not relieved until deeper than 60, what do you do?
TT4
