Rebreather divers’ responses to hyperalkaline hydroxide ingestion and aspiration (‘caustic cocktail’) events by Dong, Grant, Rhiannon, Brenner, Buzzacott, Peter, Tillmans, Frauke

“…Introduction/Background: Rebreathers recycle exhaled air using soda-lime scrubber material to remove carbon-dioxide and injecting oxygen into the normally closed breathing loop. …”

Closed circuit rebreathing to achieve inert gas wash-in for multiple breath wash-out by Horsley, Alex R., O'Neill, Katherine, Downey, Damian G., Elborn, J. Stuart, Bell, Nicholas J., Smith, Jaclyn, Owers-Bradley, John

“…We hypothesised that an effective rebreathe wash-in could be delivered and it would not alter wash-out parameters. …”

Silent fish surveys: Bubble-free diving highlights inaccuracies associated with SCUBA-based surveys in heavily fished areas by Lindfield, S., Harvey, Euan, Mcilwain, J., Halford, A.

“…To test the magnitude of avoidance behaviour, we surveyed fish populations inside and outside two MPAs in Guam, using two diving systems: standard open-circuit (OC) SCUBA and a closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) that produces no bubbles. Data were collected using a diver-operated stereo-video system (stereo-DOV), which provided counts of relative abundance, measures of fish length and the minimum approach distance of the diver to a fish. …”

Autonomic breathing abnormalities in Rett syndrome: Caregiver perspectives in an international database study by MacKay, J., Downs, Jennepher, Wong, K., Heyworth, J., Epstein, A., Leonard, H.

“…Only 31 individuals had received medically prescribed treatments including 12 different medications, added oxygen, rebreathing apparatus or non-invasive ventilation. Conclusions: Autonomic disturbances are prevalent and burdensome in Rett syndrome. …”

Breath biomarkers of inflammation, infection and metabolic derangement in the intensive care unit by Sturney, Sharon C.

“…It was possible to replicate the breath sampling method in the operating theatre; pre-filter samples with inspiratory gas flow rate 6 L/min and APL valve open provided repeatable results avoiding rebreathing. There was no role for the use of breath H2S or HCN in the diagnosis or monitoring of pneumonia in critical illness. …”
