It is with the deepest of sorrow that SPUMS shares the loss of @gordoben

Part of the fabric of our society, and the diving and hyperbaric medicine world, he will be sorely missed

Our deepest sympathy is extended to Sue and family

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

If we are serious about diver safety, both rec and occ, should a diving license be mandatory?
Interesting hearing about how this works in Quebec #SPUMSASM

@drharry64 @FalconerDouglas There might be a fire sale when the new chamber comes online 😂

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

Our 50th ASM kicking off in style with @FalconerDouglas and @drharry64 making that deco chamber wishing it got a fresh lick of paint 😂

@chrismedmond Normal arterial line attached to a low pressure split line, with heparinised syringes attached and the whole structure well taped down!

Combined presentation from multiple sites on some groundbreaking research- ABG measurement during deep dives!!

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

We are a good looking bunch 😂

@Hols_cat @armycritcare PaO2 follows the expected trend, but PaCO2 increased beyond the expected metabolic production

Here are the results:

Happy 50th to SPUMS!!

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

SPUMS is very grateful to @drharry64 for being our keynote speaker, and sharing his experiences, what a humbling talk

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

Only 12months late 😂 finally @drharry64 talking in person about the Thai cave rescue at the 50th SPUMS ASM

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

Questions you never knew you needed answering- at 60m, standard ABG syringe stoppers become incompetent 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

How fit is a diver after #covid19?
2 European military studies show a decrease in spirometry, CT scan abN in 37% in mod-sevCovid, but not much change in mild/asymptomatic infections

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

And apologies for the typos in Pieter-Jan van Ooij’s name 🤦‍♀️

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

#COVID19 and diving from the European perspective- something we haven’t had to deal with much here in Aus

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

Length of no-diving depends on severity of illness, no real consensus on post-vax

[SPUMS @SPUMS3]

The SPUMS 50th ASM is rapidly approaching!
