abstract="The neuropsychologic status of 25 male U.S. Navy saturation divers was assessed before and after saturation dives conducted at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit. Between 1982 and 1986, 5 dives to simulated depths of 198 to 335 msw were accomplished. Eighteen divers completed 1 dive, and 7 divers completed 2 saturation dives during this period. Dive durations ranged from 26 to 31 d, with helium-oxygen used as the breathing medium. On each dive the men engaged in strenuous, meaningful, in-water work on the bottom. Comparison of neuropsychologic assessment battery results pre- and postdives did not reveal permanent changes in neuropsychologic status. Transient alterations in affect, visual focusing, and physical activity level presented upon surfacing but resolved within 10 d.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
