Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess daily otological symptoms of participants duringa 10-day course of free diving, thereby determining their ear equalization rates andrevealing differences on course days; moreover, the importance of Valsalva maneuveris evaluated.Materials and methods: Daily examination data were collected from divers withnormal physical examination and respiratory function tests during a 10-day divingcourse. During the study, a 3 m dive was performed on the first day; a 5 m dive on thesecond day; a 7 m dive on the third day; an 8 m dive on the fifth day; and 10 m dives onthe 6th, 7th and 8th days. Each of the 29 participants who received the diving coursewere interrogated for their ability to make pressure equalization in both ears, eye pain,tooth ache, and palpitations. It was also assessed whether subjects having earpressure equalization problems could solve their problem, and the ways by which theparticipants could solve their problems. A p value of

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 10 günlük serbest dalış sırasında katılımcıların günlük otolojik semptomlarının değerlendirilerek, kulak eşitleme oranlarının, kurs günlerindeki farklılıklarının ortaya konulması, ayrıca Valsalva manevrasının öneminin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Fizik muayenesi ve solunum fonksiyon testleri normal sınırlarda olan serbest dalıcılarda 10 günlük dalış eğitimi sırasında günlük muayene verileri toplandı. Çalışma sırasında 1. gün 3 m, 2. gün 5 m, 3. gün 7 m, 5. gün 8 m, 6., 7. ve 8. günlerde ise 10 m dalış gerçekleştirildi. On günlük bir süre boyunca dalış eğitimi verilen 29 katılımcının her bir dalış gününde her iki kulakta basınç eşitlemesi yapıp yapamadıkları, göz ağrıları, diş ağrıları ve çarpıntı hislerinin olup olmadığı sorgulandı. Kulakta basınç eşitleme problemi yaşayanların bu sorunları çözüp çözemedikleri, kulakta basınç eşitleme sorunu çözebilenlerin çözüm yolları değerlendirildi. Gruplar arasındaki verilerin karşılaştırması ki-kare ve T-testleri kullanılarak yapıldı. P
