Ear (most common)affecting structures in the middle ear 2. Sinusair-filled facial sinuses surround the bones in the skull 3. Pulmonary (most critical)lungs Generalized barotraumas (also termed decompression sickness) involves the whole body. Activities that can expose someone to significant pressure changes are: 1. Airplane travel 2. Scuba diving, particularly: a. Ascending without exhaling freely b. Swimming quickly to the surface when diving c. Holding the breath when ascending d. Underwater diving for an increased period of time e. Repeated dives within 24 hours f. Flying in an airplane after diving g. Having air pockets in equipment (such as masks and dry suits) 3. Mechanical ventilation - use of a machine to move air into and out of the lungs (associated with pulmonary trauma) 4. Exposure to shock waves from an explosion Blockages and congestion in these tubes increase the risk of ear barotrauma because the inside pressure is not allowed to change to match the outside pressure. These tubes may be blocked or limited by: 1. Congestion from allergies or colds 2. Middle ear infectionsmore common in younger children 3. Defects of eustachian tube (small tube that runs from the middle ear to the back of the nose and upper throat and helps stabilize internal and external pressures) 4. Damaged or blockage of eustachian tuberesulting from scarring or a tumor 5. Cleft palate or lip Computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be indicated when there is severe headache or severe back pain after diving or air travel. Pulmonary barotrauma is serious and requires immediate medical attention. The treatment will be dependent on the specific lung disorder that is present. The primary medicines for lung barotrauma are oxygen, nitrogen oxide, isotonic fluids, anti-inflammatory medicines, decongestants, and analgesics. To relieve the pressure in the eustachian tube, the patient can: a. Suck candy b. Chew gum c. Yawn Medicines to relieve ear and sinus pressure are: a. Decongestant nasal sprays b. Oral decongestants c. Oral antihistamines Surgery (incision eardrum) may be essential to relieve the pressure if the eustachian tube does not open with treatment.. TABLE OF CONTENT...
