Who is Diver's Alert Network?
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a non-profit medical and research organization
dedicated to the safety and health of recreational scuba divers and is located
at Duke University Medical Center. DAN is supported by individual divers
and by every diver association around the world.
Founded in 1980, DAN has served as a lifeline for the scuba industry by
operating diving's only 24-hour emergency hotline, a lifesaving service for
injured divers. Additionally, DAN operates a diving medical information line,
conducts vital diving medical research, and develops and provides a number of
educational programs for everyone from beginning divers to medical
professionals.
What is the
Program?
Approximately two-thirds of divers with decompression illness have evidence of
damage to the nervous system. These signs are often vague and can go
unrecognized by the diver. This can cause them to be dismissed as insignificant
or not dive-related.
This program focuses on how to obtain essential information about a diver
involved in a dive emergency and what information to relay to emergency medical
services.
Only medical professionals should diagnose medical conditions. The information
you gather while performing a neurological assessment will be useful to help
the dive physician understand the extent of the injury and how it has changed
in the time it took to get the diver from the dive site to definitive care.
