| Abstract |
Physiological and pathological effects of altitude: hypoxia, physical factors, dynamic conditions, space flight; major pathological syndromes due to altitude. Contraindications (flight crews; periods spent at high altitudes). Physiopathology of underground work: minework, speleology. General considerations on hyperbaric physiopathology (physiology, decompression tables). Free diving, compressed-air and compressed-gas diving. Basic information on treatment of diving accidents. Contraindications for diving. |
