    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysbarism

    Dysbarism or dysbaric disorders refers to medical conditions resulting from changes in ambient pressure. [1] Various activities are associated with pressure changes. Underwater diving is the most frequently cited example, but pressure changes also affect people who work in other pressurized environments (for example, caisson workers), and ...

  9. Salt water aspiration syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_aspiration_syndrome

    Faulty diving equipment such as diving regulators, improper breathing techniques, or buddy breathing lead to the inhalation or aspiration of fine salt water droplets. The small size of the droplets allows them to reach the lower respiratory tract without significantly triggering the upper airway 's cough reflex , hence getting aspirated without ...
