Divetech is a DAN Technical Research field station and a team of 3 field researchers from DAN including Dr. Neal Pollock, Dawn Kernagis and Jenna Wiley, will be conducting their third technical diver field study on volunteers. The tests are harmless and non-invasive including TTE (transthoracic echocardiogram or cardiac ultrasound), Doppler and venous blood draws that allow researchers and divers to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ bubbles in the blood stream and/or heart after dives, to further study biomarkers of decompression stress. This is very valuable research and will assist to further understand decompression models for the future.
