Considered an essential resource by many in the field, Diving and Subaquatic Medicine remains the leading text on diving medicine, written to fulfil the requirements of any general physician wishing to advise their patients appropriately when a diving trip is planned, for those accompanying diving expeditions or when a doctor is required to assess and treat anyone who has been involved in a diving accident. For this fifth edition the original author, Carl Edmonds, is joined by a new team of collaborators and the content has been entirely refreshed and updated throughout. Clinical cases, a feature popular with readers, are expanded, as is the illustrative content. Established and emerging diseases of diving medicine are all covered in full, as is the latest in types of diving, including free and indigenous diving, and associated equipment. Each medical disorder is discussed from a historical, etiological, clinical, pathological, preventative and therapeutic perspective in the informative and accessible style that has made previous editions so popular.

Das Sporttauchen findet immer mehr begeisterte Anhänger und auch das berufsmäßige Tauchen erhält zunehmend Bedeutung. Parallel dazu steigt zwangsläufig auch die Zahl der Zwischenfälle und Notfallsituationen unter Wasser. Das Handbuch der Tauchunfälle vermittelt dem Hobby- und Sporttaucher ohne tauchmedizinische Vorkenntnisse die notwendigen Informationen, die für eine Erstversorgung bei Tauchunfällen notwendig sind. Das aus der Praxis abgeleitete Symptomen-Suchregister erlaubt in der Notfallsituation schnell und mit hoher Sicherheit das Unfallgeschehen richtig zu erkennen. Mit dem Stichwortsystem kann die Unfallursache differenziert werden, der Vergleich beider Systeme ermöglicht die Einleitung der Erste-Hilfe-Maßnahmen nach präziser Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung. Die klare, didaktische Aufbereitung des Stoffes ohne theoretischen Ballast machen dieses aus Kunststoff gefertigte, wasserfeste Buch zu einer unentbehrlichen Anschaffung für jede Tauchbasis und jeden aktiven Taucher.
