Häufig gestellte Fragen zur Tauchmedizin

[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column el_class=”page-text”][vc_column_text]Raynaud’s Syndrome decreases effective blood flow to the extremities, most significantly fingers and toes; this results in cold, pale fingers and toes, followed by pain and redness in these areas as blood flow returns. The underlying problem is constriction of the blood vessels in response to cold, stress or some other phenomenon supplying these areas. Symptoms are often mild. Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur as an isolated problem, but it is more often associated with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Raynaud’s Syndrome poses a threat to a diver who is so severely affected that he/she may lose function or dexterity in the hands and fingers during the dive. If coldness is a trigger that causes symptoms in the individual, immersion in cold water will likely do the same. These individuals should avoid diving in water cold enough to elicit symptoms in an ungloved hand. The pain may be sufficiently significant that, for all practical purposes, the diver will not be able to use his/her hands. Less severely affected individuals may be able to function adequately in the water. Calcium channel blockers may be prescribed for individuals with severe symptoms; lightheadedness when going from a sitting or supine position to standing may be a significant side effect.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Dies führt zu kalten, blassen Fingern und Zehen, gefolgt von Schmerzen und Rötungen in diesen Bereichen, wenn die Durchblutung wiederhergestellt ist. Das zugrunde liegende Problem ist eine Verengung der Blutgefäße als Reaktion auf Kälte, Stress oder ein anderes Phänomen, das diese Bereiche versorgt. Die Symptome sind oft mild. Das Raynaud-Phänomen kann als isoliertes Problem auftreten, ist jedoch häufiger mit Autoimmun- und Bindegewebserkrankungen wie Sklerodermie, rheumatoider Arthritis und Lupus assoziiert. Das Raynaud-Syndrom stellt eine Gefahr für Taucher dar, die so stark betroffen sind, dass sie während des Tauchgangs die Funktion oder Geschicklichkeit in den Händen und Fingern verlieren können. Wenn Kälte ein Auslöser ist, der bei der betroffenen Person Symptome hervorruft, wird das Eintauchen in kaltes Wasser wahrscheinlich dasselbe bewirken. Diese Personen sollten es vermeiden, in Wasser zu tauchen, das kalt genug ist, um bei einer ungeschützten Hand Symptome hervorzurufen. Die Schmerzen können so stark sein, dass der Taucher seine Hände praktisch nicht mehr benutzen kann. Weniger stark betroffene Personen können im Wasser möglicherweise noch angemessen funktionieren. Bei Personen mit schweren Symptomen können Kalziumkanalblocker verschrieben werden. Eine erhebliche Nebenwirkung kann Schwindel sein, wenn man sich aus einer sitzenden oder liegenden Position in eine stehende Position begibt.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Le problème sous-jacent est une constriction des vaisseaux sanguins en réponse au froid, au stress ou à un autre phénomène affectant ces zones. Les symptômes sont souvent légers. Le phénomène de Raynaud peut se manifester de manière isolée, mais il est plus souvent associé à des troubles auto-immuns et des troubles du tissu conjonctif tels que la sclérodermie, la polyarthrite rhumatoïde et le lupus. Le syndrome de Raynaud représente un danger pour les plongeurs qui en sont gravement atteints, car ils peuvent perdre l’usage ou la dextérité de leurs mains et de leurs doigts pendant la plongée. Si le froid est un facteur déclenchant des symptômes chez une personne, l’immersion dans l’eau froide aura probablement le même effet. Ces personnes doivent éviter de plonger dans une eau suffisamment froide pour provoquer des symptômes lorsqu’elles ont les mains nues. La douleur peut être suffisamment intense pour que, dans la pratique, le plongeur ne puisse plus utiliser ses mains. Les personnes moins gravement atteintes peuvent être capables de fonctionner correctement dans l’eau. Des inhibiteurs calciques peuvent être prescrits aux personnes présentant des symptômes sévères ; des vertiges lors du passage de la position assise ou couchée à la position debout peuvent être un effet secondaire important.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
