Scott, we have checked with Doppler for some number of years. The two things that we get from this are 1) if the deco produced a low count, and 2) how long it takes us to peak in bubbles and clear. We run several teams on similar profiles and then we followed slightly different protocols and then started the Doppler testing as soon as the divers surfaced and every half hour afterwards. In on case, we had Rose do it right and everyone else from Trout to JJ do it almost right, and I just blew straight to the surface from the 30 foot stop. Now it got interesting: Rose showed almost no bubbles at all - grade 1 at most. The others showed some increase on that all the way up to me who showed grade 4. Dr Johansen said I should "go to the chamber". When I stopped laughing, he tested me again - nothing , not even grade one, and that being only 1/2 hour later. This is just one example, but over time what we found was that our standard methods as seen on our website are perfect, and the guys in the best shape as measured by VO2 max clear the fastest. The other tests we ran were the standard neurologicals and evaluation by Navy professionals ( who are on the team ) and we draw blood before and after looking for markers of damage. We do the blood on me and JJ - so far nothing. Scott Hunsucker is in charge of this area of our research. By the way, it is so funny to listen to the morons try to tell us about deco. The rebreather idiots keep yelling "constant ppo2" , the weenies keep doing massive decoes, and the real idiots ( IANTD types ) use the wrong gasses. -----Original Message----- From: Scott [mailto:scottk@nw*.co*] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 9:55 AM To: Techlist; Trey Subject: Re: accident How much of a role did Doppler Stethoscopes play in your research? I know you guys worked with Hamilton and Mee, but how about a little of the nuts and bolts of your development protocol?
