On the shores of beautiful Lake Norris, nestled on the south edge of the Ocala National Forest, Camp La-No-Che has exciting program features, great facilities, and the best trained staff anywhere. A week at Camp La-No-Che is the perfect opportunity for a Scout to enjoy camping, learn self-reliance, and acquire Scouting skills. Camp La-No-Che is an increasingly popular choice among troops from other councils and even other countries, and why many Scouts choose to return for a second, third, or even fourth week each summer.

All Scouts need merit badge books for each merit badge class. All merit badge skills are offered in daily sessions. However, extra time will be needed to complete some merit badges. Other merit badges will not require a full week, and a second merit badge may be earned. The program areas are Adventure Camp, Aquatics, Ecology, Handicraft, Healthcraft, Leadership Academy, Native American, Scoutcraft, Shooting Sports, Skills, and Special programs. There are also activities other than merit badges, such as Aquatic Supervison, the Trailblazer program, and older Scout programs. Class schedules, size limits, and preparation requirements are listed by program area. Scoutmaster approval is required for a Scout to take merit badges. We encourage new Scouts with less than six months in Scouting to attend one of the Trailblazer programs, each of which consists of a two-hour block. During the other three merit badge periods, the new Scout can work on Swimming, Rowing, First Aid, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Native American and Ecology merit badges. Young Scouts not participating in Trailblazers may also take numerous aquatic merit badges if they have the Swimming merit badge, and many other badges based on the Scout’s interests. Please refer to the following pages to plan your Scouts’ merit badge schedules by program area. Please register online or complete the summer camp merit badge pre-registration form and send it to Camp La-No-Che. We suggest the merit badge pre-registration be completed as early as possible for the best merit badge choices. Many units will start sending in pre-registrations around January. Please have your pre-registration completed before May 1st. If you have any problems or changes, please contact the camp office. Merit Badge Records We want your stay at The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation to be fun, relaxing and hasslefree, and we want dealing with the paperwork at home to be hassle-free, as well. We will continue to limit the size of merit badge classes to ensure proper instruction. The camp will start accepting pre-registration for merit badges and the special skill courses for this year's summer camp on March 1st. Courses will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. This will help the leader know his Scouts’ schedules and give the camp staff an idea of class loads. The unit leader will receive a merit badge report on Friday night. The report will show which requirements have been completed for each badge for each Scout. Each department director is a registered merit badge counselor for the merit badges in his or her department. A troop may bring blue cards to the area directors for a signature Friday night at 7:15 pm at the Handicraft Pavilion. Merit Badge Not on Schedule If a Scout is interested in a merit badge which is not on the schedule, please contact the Camp Program Office either prior to camp or upon arrival on Sunday to discuss the possibility of making special arrangements for the badge. Notes About Schedules In the schedules on the following pages, the shaded areas represent the times when the classes are available. The numbers in the shaded areas represent the capacities of the classes. An asterisk (“*”) next to the program name indicates that the program is a merit badge class. In addition to the items listed under Preparation Needed Prior to Camp, Scouts should read the merit badge books and bring the books to class for all merit badges. 13 Adventure Camp Older Scout programs are provided in the program areas. These adventures will be listed in the Adventure Camp section of this guidebook. The most updated information is available online at http://www.camplanoche.com. Troop Time Activities All of the program areas offer troop time activities from 3:30 pm until 5:20 pm and in the evenings. Troop Time activities are listed by program area, and more information is provided online at http://www.camplanoche.com. You will register your troop on Sunday at 7:45 pm in the Handicraft Pavilion for troop time activities.

Hiker of La-No-Che Trails Hiking the trails of Camp La-No-Che at The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation can be a rewarding experience for Scouts and Scouters alike. Information and helpful hints are provided to make this experience even more fun. The Ecology department maintains and oversees the trail system throughout camp. Before starting any hike, please notify the staff at the Ecology Lodge for directions, hints on changes and wildlife, and to sign the log book. Report back to Ecology Lodge upon completion of each hike. Commissioner points are also awarded to the troops participating and completing the Hiker of La-No-Che Trails award. To become a Hiker of La-No-Che and earn a special patch, one must hike three trails, one of which must be hiked at night. The patch may be purchased at the trading post. Big Stump Trail This trail is a tradition at La-No-Che. Expect a muddy two hour walk through the Blackwater Swamp to view an old first growth cypress stump and many natural areas of interest. To take this hike, report to the Ecology Lodge with two leaders and ample time to complete the hike before dark. Weekly changes in times may be invoked as water levels, staff schedules and weather require. Wear old clothes and closed-toe shoes, preferably all items to throw away after the hike. Nobody comes back in clean clothes and the mud usually won’t wash out completely. Those who make it to Big Stump and back fulfill the requirements for a special patch available for purchase from the trading post. Cateye Trails The Cateye Red Trail is marked with red reflectors which the Scouts follow. The route uses existing roads and trails through the east side of camp to provide a challenge for everyone. Remember to bring your flashlights, look up and keep a sharp eye out for the red cateyes. The Cateye Blue Trail is marked with blue reflectors which Scouts will follow with the aid of their flashlights. This trail was blazed by the ecology staff and is about an hour long. Remember your flashlights and keep an eye out for the blue cateyes. Sulfur Springs Trail This spring is one of the natural wonders of La-No-Che which is being preserved and protected. Because of this protection, you can experience this wonderful ecosystem which unfolds before you. Please do not damage plants and trees along the way, but take lots of pictures. Also, remember that the Sulfer Spring is not a swimming hole. Trapper Creek Nature Trail This is an adventure in wetland forests and creeks that sometimes flow under two bridges. The wood ticks and mosquitos may be a problem, so bring your repellent and spray your ankles. Hikers may see close to half of Camp LaNo-Che’s plant species on this trail along with many different types of animals. This trail will focus on interpretation, making it an ideal resource for Nature and Forestry merit badges and Trailblazer requirements. 38 Mile Run In order to earn the Mile Run award, a Scout or leader must meet Monday morning at 6:00 at the Coggins Pavilion.

Specialty weeks and the provisional troop are not intended to be alternatives to troop camping. Any troop sending four or more boys to the provisional troop or a specialty week will be expected to provide an adult to assist with leadership. Questions concerning this issue may be directed to the camp office. An application is provided on the next page. The information below should be provided to parents of all Scouts attending with provisional. Dear Provisional Parents: We look forward to having your son spend a week with us at camp. As a provisional camper the following is a list of what he should bring with him: Enough clothes for a week at camp, including plenty of socks. We do a lot of walking and blisters are common. Closed-toe shoes are to be worn at all times, and a spare pair of shoes is important. • Field (“Class A”) uniform. A Scout should travel in field uniform, wear it to dinner each night, and have his provisional troop photograph taken in it. • Swim suit and towels • Long pants and a long sleeved button up shirt for boys taking any of the aquatics merit badges. • Toilet articles: soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, etc. • Raincoat or poncho • Flashlight • Insect repellent • Pocket knife • Compass • Sleeping bag or sheet and blanket. We will sleep on cots. For his sleeping comfort, he should bring a mosquito net. • Scout handbook, merit badge books, paper, and pens • If taking the Big Stump hike, he should bring clothes and shoes that can be thrown away after this very muddy hike. • Spending money (No large amounts of cash) • Locked trunk to store everything (or at least valuables) • $25 activity fee to participate in daily activities, payable to camp office prior to arrival • Please don’t send unnecessary items to camp that might get broken, lost, or stolen. Label everything he does bring. If you would like to write to your son, please address mail as follows: Scout’s name Provo Troop Camp La-No-Che P.O. Box 323 Paisley, FL 32767 Thursday night is parents’ night. For a $7.00 charge you are welcome to have dinner with your son and see a special program. Cub Scouts in uniform eat free.

Providing your medical information on this four-part form will help ensure you meet the minimum standards for participation in various activities. Note that unit leaders must always protect the privacy of unit participants by protecting their medical information. A fin de proporcionar una mejor atención para sus miembros y para ayudarles a entender mejor sus propias capacidades físicas, Boy Scouts of America recomienda que todos aquellos que participen en un evento Scouting se sometan a un examen médico anual realizado por un prestador de servicios de salud certificado y con licencia: un médico (Doctor en medicina o Doctor en osteopatía), enfermera profesional o asistente médico. Proporcionar su información médica en este formulario de cuatro partes, ayudará a asegurar que usted cumple con los estándares mínimos de participación en varias actividades. Tome en cuenta que los líderes de unidad siempre deben proteger la privacidad de los participantes al salvaguardar su información médica. Parts A and B are to be completed at least annually by participants in all Scouting events. This health history, parental/ guardian informed consent and release agreement, and talent release statement is to be completed by the participant and parents/guardians. Attach a copy of both sides of your insurance card. Part C is the pre-participation physical exam that is required for participants in any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, for all high-adventure base participants, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding. Service projects or work weekends may fit this description. Part C is to be completed and signed by a certified and licensed heathcare provider—physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. It is important to note that the height/ weight limits must be strictly adhered to when the event will take the unit more than 30 minutes away from an emergency vehicle, accessible roadway, or when the program requires it, such as backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas. See the FAQs for when this does not apply. Part D is required to be reviewed by all participants of a highadventure program at one of the national high-adventure bases, as well as unit-based, high-adventure backcountry activities, and shared with the examining health-care provider before completing Part C. • Philmont Scout Ranch. Participants and guests for Philmont activities that are conducted with limited access to the backcountry, including most Philmont Training Center conferences and family programs, will not require completion of Part C. However, participants should review Part D to understand potential risks inherent at 6,700 feet in elevation in a dry Southwest environment. Please review specific registration information for the activity or event. • Northern Tier National High Adventure Base. • Florida National High Adventure Sea Base. The PADI medical form is also required if scuba diving at this base. • Summit Bechtel Reserve. Las Partes A y B las deben completar, por lo menos una vez al año, los participantes de todos los eventos Scouting. Este historial médico, notificación de consentimiento y convenio de exoneración de responsabilidad por parte de los padres/tutores, y formulario de cesión de derechos lo deben completar los participantes y los padres/tutores. Anexar una copia de ambos lados de su tarjeta del seguro. La Parte C es el examen físico previo, que se requiere de los participantes de cualquier evento que exceda 72 horas consecutivas, para todos los participantes de las bases de aventura extrema, o cuando la naturaleza de la actividad es extenuante y exigente. Los proyectos de servicio o fines de semana de trabajo pueden caer en esta descripción. La Parte C la debe completar y firmar un prestador de servicios de salud certificado y con licencia: un médico (Doctor en medicina o Doctor en osteopatía), enfermera profesional o asistente médico. Es importante tomar en cuenta que los límites de estatura y peso deben ser estrictamente controlados cuando el evento llevará a la unidad a más de 30 minutos de un vehículo de emergencia, camino accesible, o cuando el programa lo requiera, tal como expediciones, actividades de aventura extrema y proyectos de conservación en áreas remotas. Consulte las Preguntas Frecuentes para cuando estos lineamientos no aplican. La Parte D se requiere que la revisen todos los participantes del programa de aventura extrema en una de las bases nacionales de aventura extrema, así como actividades de aventura extrema en zonas aisladas basadas en la unidad, y que la compartan con el prestador de servicios de salud antes de completar la Parte C. • Rancho Scout Philmont. Los participantes e invitados en las actividades Philmont que se realicen con acceso limitado a las zonas campestres, incluyendo la mayoría de las conferencias y programas familiares en el Centro de Capacitación Philmont, no requerirán llenar la Parte C. Sin embargo, los participantes deberán repasar la Parte D para entender los riesgos potenciales inherentes a los 6,700 pies de elevación en un ambiente seco del Suroeste. Favor de revisar la información de registro específica para la actividad o evento. • Base nacional de aventura extrema Northern Tier. • Base nacional marina de aventura extrema de la Florida. También se requiere el formulario médico PADI si se va a bucear en esta base. • Summit Bechtel Reserve. 63 Risk Factors Based on the vast experience of the medical community, the BSA has identified the following risk factors that may limit your participation in various outdoor adventures. • Excessive body weight • Heart disease • Hypertension (high blood pressure) • Diabetes • Seizures • Lack of appropriate immunizations • Asthma • Allergies/anaphylaxis • Muscular/skeletal injuries • Psychiatric/ psychological and emotional difficulties Factores de riesgo Con base en la gran experiencia de la comunidad médica, BSA ha identificado los siguientes factores de riesgo que podrían limitar su participación en varias aventuras al aire libre. • Peso corporal excesivo • Enfermedad cardiaca • Hipertensión (Presión arterial alta) • Diabetes • Convulsiones • Falta de vacunación adecuada • Asma • Alergias/anafilaxia • Lesiones musculares/ óseas • Trastornos psiquiátricos/ psicológicos y emocionales For more information on medical risk factors, visit Scouting Safely on www.scouting.org. Para obtener más información sobre los factores de riesgo médicos, visite Scouting Safely en www.scouting.org. Prescriptions The taking of prescription medication is the responsibility of the individual taking the medication and/or that individual’s parent or guardian. A leader, after obtaining all the necessary information, can agree to accept the responsibility of making sure a youth takes the necessary medication at the appropriate time, but the BSA does not mandate or necessarily encourage the leader to do so. Also, if state laws are more limiting, they must be followed. Prescripciones Tomar los medicamentos prescritos es responsabilidad del individuo que requiere el medicamento o del padre de familia o tutor del individuo. Un líder, después de haber obtenido toda la información necesaria, puede aceptar la responsabilidad de asegurarse de que un niño tome el medicamento necesario a la hora apropiada, pero BSA no obliga ni necesariamente anima al líder a que lo haga. Asimismo, si las leyes estatales son más limitantes, deben ser cumplidas.

Page 2 of 2 70 680-001 2012 Printing Rev. 9/2012 MEDICAL STATEMENT Participant Record (Confidential Information) Please read carefully before signing. This is a statement in which you are informed of some potential risks involved in scuba diving and of the conduct required of you during the scuba training program. Your signature on this statement is required for you to participate in the scuba training program offered by_____________________________________________________and Instructor _______________________________________________located in the Facility city of_______________________, state/province of _______________. Read this statement prior to signing it. You must complete this Medical Statement, which includes the medical questionnaire section, to enroll in the scuba training program. If you are a minor, you must have this Statement signed by a parent or guardian. Diving is an exciting and demanding activity. When performed correctly, applying correct techniques, it is relatively safe. When established safety procedures are not followed, however, there are increased risks. To scuba dive safely, you should not be extremely overweight or out of condition. Diving can be strenuous under certain conditions. Your respiratory and circulatory systems must be in good health. All body air spaces must be normal and healthy. A person with coronary disease, a current cold or congestion, epilepsy, a severe medical problem or who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs should not dive. If you have asthma, heart disease, other chronic medical conditions or you are taking medications on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor and the instructor before participating in this program, and on a regular basis thereafter upon completion. You will also learn from the instructor the important safety rules regarding breathing and equalization while scuba diving. Improper use of scuba equipment can result in serious injury. You must be thoroughly instructed in its use under direct supervision of a qualified instructor to use it safely. If you have any additional questions regarding this Medical Statement or the Medical Questionnaire section, review them with your instructor before signing. Divers Medical Questionnaire To the Participant: The purpose of this Medical Questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in recreational diver training. A positive response to a question does not necessarily disqualify you from diving. A positive response means that there is a preexisting condition that may affect your safety while diving and you must seek the advice of your physician prior to engaging in dive activities. Please answer the following questions on your past or present medical history with a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES. If any of these items apply to you, we must request that you consult with a physician prior to participating in scuba diving. Your instructor will supply you with an RSTC Medical Statement and Guidelines for Recreational Scuba Diver’s Physical Examination to take to your physician. _____ Could you be pregnant, or are you attempting to become pregnant? _____ Dysentery or dehydration requiring medical intervention? _____ Are you presently taking prescription medications?

The risk of diving is increased by certain physical conditions, which the relationship to diving may not be readily obvious. Thus, it is important to screen divers for such conditions. The RECREATIONAL SCUBA DIVER’S PHYSICAL EXAMINATION focuses on conditions that may put a diver at increased risk for decompression sickness, pulmonary overinflation syndrome with subsequent arterial gas embolization and other conditions such as loss of consciousness, which could lead to drowning. Additionally, the diver must be able to withstand some degree of cold stress, the physiological effects of immersion and the optical effects of water and have sufficient physical and mental reserves to deal with possible emergencies. The history, review of systems and physical examination should include as a minimum the points listed below. The list of conditions that might adversely affect the diver is not all-inclusive, but contains the most commonly encountered medical problems. The brief introductions should serve as an alert to the nature of the risk posed by each medical problem. The potential diver and his or her physician must weigh the pleasures to be had by diving against an increased risk of death or injury due to the individual’s medical condition. As with any recreational activity, there are no data for diving enabling the calculation of an accurate mathematical probability of injury. Experience and physiological principles only permit a qualitative assessment of relative risk. For the purposes of this document, Severe Risk implies that an individual is believed to be at substantially elevated risk of decompression sickness, pulmonary or otic barotrauma or altered consciousness with subsequent drowning, compared with the general population. The consultants involved in drafting this document would generally discourage a student with such medical problems from diving. Relative Risk refers to a moderate increase in risk, which in some instances may be acceptable. To make a decision as to whether diving is contraindicated for this category of medical problems, physicians must base their judgement on an assessment of the individual patient. Some medical problems which may preclude diving are temporary in nature or responsive to treatment, allowing the student to dive safely after they have resolved. Diagnostic studies and specialty consultations should be obtained as indicated to determine the diver’s status. A list of references is included to aid in clarifying issues that arise.

NEUROLOGICAL Neurological abnormalities affecting a diver’s ability to perform exercise should be assessed according to the degree of compromise. Some diving physicians feel that conditions in which there can be a waxing and waning of neurological symptoms and signs, such as migraine or demyelinating disease, contraindicate diving because an exacerbation or attack of the preexisting disease (e.g.: a migraine with aura) may be difficult to distinguish from neurological decompression sickness. A history of head injury resulting in unconsciousness should be evaluated for risk of seizure. Relative Risk Conditions • Complicated Migraine Headaches whose symptoms or severity impair motor or cognitive function, neurologic manifestations • History of Head Injury with sequelae other than seizure • Herniated Nucleus Pulposus • Intracranial Tumor or Aneurysm • Peripheral Neuropathy • Multiple Sclerosis • Trigeminal Neuralgia • History of spinal cord or brain injury Temporary Risk Condition History of cerebral gas embolism without residual where pulmonary air trapping has been excluded and for which there is a satisfactory explanation and some reason to believe that the probability of recurrence is low. Severe Risk Conditions Any abnormalities where there is a significant probability of unconsciousness, hence putting the diver at increased risk of drowning. Divers with spinal cord or brain abnormalities where perfusion is impaired may be at increased risk of decompression sickness. Some conditions are as follows: • History of seizures other than childhood febrile seizures • History of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) • History of Serious (Central Nervous System, Cerebral or Inner Ear) Decompression Sickness with residual deficits CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS Relative Risk Conditions The diagnoses listed below potentially render the diver unable to meet the exertional performance requirements likely to be encountered in recreational diving. These conditions may lead the diver to experience cardiac ischemia and its consequences. Formalized stress testing is encouraged if there is any doubt regarding physical performance capability. The suggested minimum criteria for stress testing in such cases is at least 13 METS.* Failure to meet the exercise criteria would be of significant concern. Conditioning and retesting may make later qualification possible. Immersion in water causes a redistribution of blood from the periphery into the central compartment, an effect that is greatest in cold water. The marked increase in cardiac preload during immersion can precipitate pulmonary edema in patients with impaired left ventricular function or significant valvular disease. The effects of immersion can mostly be gauged by an assessment of the diver’s performance while swimming on the surface. A large proportion of scuba diving deaths in North America are due to coronary artery disease. Before being approved to scuba dive, individuals older than 40 years are recommended to undergo risk assessment for coronary artery disease. Formal exercise testing may be needed to assess the risk. * METS is a term used to describe the metabolic cost. The MET at rest is one, two METS is two times the resting level, three METS is three times the resting level, and so on. The resting energy cost (net oxygen requirement) is thus standardized. (Exercise Physiology; Clark, Prentice Hall, 1975.) 73 Page 3 of 6 Relative Risk Conditions • Obesity • History of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) • Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty (PCTA) or Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) • History of Myocardial Infarction • Congestive Heart Failure • Hypertension • History of dysrythmias requiring medication for suppression • Valvular Regurgitation • History of Immersion Pulmonary Edema Restrictive Disease* • Interstitial lung disease: May increase the risk of pneumothorax * Spirometry should be normal before and after exercise Active Reactive Airway Disease, Active Asthma, Exercise Induced Bronchospasm, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or history of same with abnormal PFTs or a positive exercise challenge are concerns for diving. Pacemakers The pathologic process that necessitated should be addressed regarding the diver’s fitness to dive. In those instances where the problem necessitating pacing does not preclude diving, will the diver be able to meet the performance criteria? * NOTE: Pacemakers must be certified by the manufacturer as able to withstand the pressure changes involved in recreational diving. Severe Risks PULMONARY Any process or lesion that impedes airflow from the lungs places the diver at risk for pulmonary overinflation with alveolar rupture and the possibility of cerebral air embolization. Many interstitial diseases predispose to spontaneous pneumothorax: Asthma (reactive airway disease), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cystic or cavitating lung diseases may all cause air trapping. The 1996 Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) consensus on diving and asthma indicates that for the risk of pulmonary barotrauma and decompression illness to be acceptably low, the asthmatic diver should be asymptomatic and have normal spirometry before and after an exercise test. Inhalation challenge tests (e.g.: using histamine, hypertonic saline or methacholine) are not sufficiently standardized to be interpreted in the context of scuba diving. A pneumothorax that occurs or reoccurs while diving may be catastrophic. As the diver ascends, air trapped in the cavity expands and could produce a tension pneumothorax. In addition to the risk of pulmonary barotrauma, respiratory disease due to either structural disorders of the lung or chest wall or neuromuscular disease may impair exercise performance. Structural disorders of the chest or abdominal wall (e.g.: prune belly), or neuromuscular disorders, may impair cough, which could be life threatening if water is aspirated. Respiratory limitation due to disease is compounded by the combined effects of immersion (causing a restrictive deficit) and the increase in gas density, which increases in proportion to the ambient pressure (causing increased airway resistance). Formal exercise testing may be helpful. • History of Asthma or Reactive Airway Disease (RAD)* • History of Exercise Induced Bronchospasm (EIB)* • History of solid, cystic or cavitating lesion* • Pneumothorax secondary to: -Thoracic Surgery -Trauma or Pleural Penetration* -Previous Overinflation Injury* • History of spontaneous pneumothorax. Individuals who have experienced spontaneous pneumothorax should avoid diving, even after a surgical procedure designed to prevent recurrence (such as pleurodesis). Surgical procedures either do not correct the underlying lung abnormality (e.g.: pleurodesis, apical pleurectomy) or may not totally correct it (e.g.: resection of blebs or bullae). • Impaired exercise performance due to respiratory disease. Venous emboli, commonly produced during decompression, may cross major intracardiac right-to-left shunts and enter the cerebral or spinal cord circulations causing neurological decompression illness. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and valvular stenosis may lead to the sudden onset of unconsciousness during exercise. Relative Risk Conditions Severe Risk Conditions GASTROINTESTINAL Temporary Risks As with other organ systems and disease states, a process which chronically debilitates the diver may impair exercise performance. Additionally, dive activities may take place in areas remote from medical care. The possibility of acute recurrences of disability or lethal symptoms must be considered. Temporary Risk Conditions • Peptic Ulcer Disease associated with pyloric obstruction or severe reflux • Unrepaired hernias of the abdominal wall large enough to contain bowel within the hernia sac could incarcerate. Relative Risk Conditions • Inflammatory Bowel Disease • Functional Bowel Disorders Severe Risks Altered anatomical relationships secondary to surgery or malformations that lead to gas trapping may cause serious problems. Gas trapped in a hollow viscous expands as the divers surfaces and can lead to rupture or, in the case of the upper GI tract, emesis. Emesis underwater may lead to drowning. Severe Risk Conditions • Gastric outlet obstruction of a degree sufficient to produce recurrent vomiting • Chronic or recurrent small bowel obstruction • Severe gastroesophageal reflux • Achalasia • Paraesophageal Hernia ORTHOPAEDIC Relative impairment of mobility, particularly in a boat or ashore with equipment weighing up to 18 kgs/40 pounds must be assessed. Orthopaedic conditions of a degree sufficient to impair exercise performance may increase the risk. Relative Risk Conditions • Amputation • Scoliosis must also assess impact on respiratory function and exercise performance. • Aseptic Necrosis possible risk of progression due to effects of decompression (evaluate the underlying medical Page 4 of 6 74 cause of decompression may accelerate/escalate the progression). Temporary Risk Conditions • Back pain HEMATOLOGICAL Abnormalities resulting in altered rheological properties may theoretically increase the risk of decompression sickness. Bleeding disorders could worsen the effects of otic or sinus barotrauma, and exacerbate the injury associated with inner ear or spinal cord decompression sickness. Spontaneous bleeding into the joints (e.g.: in hemophilia) may be difficult to distinguish from decompression illness. OTOLARYNGOLOGICAL Equalisation of pressure must take place during ascent and descent between ambient water pressure and the external auditory canal, middle ear and paranasal sinuses. Failure of this to occur results at least in pain and in the worst case rupture of the occluded space with disabling and possible lethal consequences. The inner ear is fluid filled and therefore noncompressible. The flexible interfaces between the middle and inner ear, the round and oval windows are, however, subject to pressure changes. Previously ruptured but healed round or oval window membranes are at increased risk of rupture due to failure to equalise pressure or due to marked overpressurisation during vigorous or explosive Valsalva manoeuvres. Relative Risk Conditions • • • • • • • • personal fears Claustrophobia and agoraphobia Active psychosis History of untreated panic disorder Drug or alcohol abuse Sickle Cell Disease Polycythemia Vera Leukemia Hemophilia/Impaired Coagulation METABOLIC AND ENDOCRINOLOGICAL With the exception of diabetes mellitus, states of altered hormonal or metabolic function should be assessed according to their impact on the individual’s ability to tolerate the moderate exercise requirement and environmental stress of sport diving. Obesity may predispose the individual to decompression sickness, can impair exercise tolerance and is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. The larynx and pharynx must be free of an obstruction to airflow. The laryngeal and epiglotic structure must function normally to prevent aspiration. Mandibular and maxillary function must be capable of allowing the patient to hold a scuba mouthpiece. Individuals who have had mid-face fractures may be prone to barotrauma and rupture of the air filled cavities involved. Relative Risk Conditions Relative Risk Conditions • Hormonal Excess or Deficiency • Obesity • Renal Insufficiency • • • • • • • • • Severe Risk Conditions The potentially rapid change in level of consciousness associated with hypoglycemia in diabetics on insulin therapy or certain oral hypoglycemic medications can result in drowning. Diving is therefore generally contraindicated, unless associated with a specialized program that addresses these issues. [See “Guidelines for Recreational Diving with Diabetes” at www/wrstc.com and www.diversalertnetwork.org.] Pregnancy: The effect of venous emboli formed during decompression on the fetus has not been thoroughly investigated. Diving is therefore not recommended during any stage of pregnancy or for women actively seeking to become pregnant. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH Behavioral: The diver’s mental capacity and emotional make-up are important to safe diving. The student diver must have sufficient learning abilities to grasp information presented to him by his instructors, be able to safely plan and execute his own dives and react to changes around him in the underwater environment. The student’s motivation to learn and his ability to deal with potentially dangerous situations are also crucial to safe scuba diving. Relative Risk Conditions • • • • Developmental delay History of drug or alcohol abuse History of previous psychotic episodes Use of psychotropic medications Severe Risk Conditions • Inappropriate motivation to dive – solely to please spouse, partner or family member, to prove oneself in the face of • • • • • • • Recurrent otitis externa Significant obstruction of external auditory canal History of significant cold injury to pinna Eustachian tube dysfunction Recurrent otitis media or sinusitis History of TM perforation History of tympanoplasty History of mastoidectomy Significant conductive or sensorineural hearing impairment Facial nerve paralysis not associated with barotrauma Full prosthedontic devices History of mid-face fracture Unhealed oral surgery sites History of head and/or neck therapeutic radiation History of temperomandibular joint dysfunction History of round window rupture Severe Risk Conditions • • • • • • • • • • • • • Monomeric TM Open TM perforation Tube myringotomy History of stapedectomy History of ossicular chain surgery History of inner ear surgery Facial nerve paralysis secondary to barotrauma Inner ear disease other than presbycusis Uncorrected upper airway obstruction Laryngectomy or status post partial laryngectomy Tracheostomy Uncorrected laryngocele History of vestibular decompression sickness Page 5 of 6 75 BIBLIOGRAPHY/REFERENCE 1.
