In-Water Recompression:  A Symposium and Workshop
Sunday, May 24, 1998 - Memorial Day Weekend
Seattle Sheraton Hotel 
Registration: $125.00 

This controversial subject is now under scientific scrutiny. The Undersea
and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) is hosting an international
symposium and workshop to be held in conjunction with the 1998 UHMS Annual
Meeting in Seattle, Washington.  This event is co-chaired by Dr. Merrill
Spencer and Dr. Edmond Kay and is open to the public.  An internationally
know panel of experts in Diving & Hyperbaric Medicine will address the
issues of how and why a diver might accomplish In-Water Recompression
(IWR).  A crucial question to be addressed is when the benefits of early
recompression outweigh the risks of this inherently difficult and
sometimes dangerous procedure.  The workshop objectives are to provide the
Society and the diving community with guidelines for proper use including
indications, triage, support, risks, benefits and contraindications to the
use of IWR.  The workshop is dedicated to Dr. Ed Beckman and his
pioneering work in IWR and early recompression. To Register for the IWR
Workshop visit our web site and print out a "Fax Pre-Registration Form".
