Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) is a unique medical field that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions that occur in the undersea and hyperbaric environment. This specialized area of medicine combines principles of physiology, diving medicine, and hyperbaric medicine. In this article, we will discuss what Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine is, its history, the conditions it treats, and the types of treatments involved.
The history of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine can be traced back to the early 17th century when physicians began to notice the effects of compressed air on the human body. In the 19th century, with the advent of deep-sea diving, there was an increased interest in understanding the physiology of diving and how to treat diving-related illnesses. During World War II, hyperbaric oxygen therapy was used to treat decompression sickness in divers and submariners. Today, Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine is a recognized medical specialty with dedicated training and certification programs.
