专家警告说, 潜水时甚至健康的游泳者也会突然失意识, Breath-hold diving can cause sudden, fatal blackouts even in healthy swimmers, experts warn.

爱丁堡大学科学家(包括Andrew Baker教授和Hugh Montgomery教授)的新报告警告说,屏住呼吸的潜水可造成突然、致命的浅水或缺氧性断电,即使在年轻健康的游泳者中也是如此。 A new report by Edinburgh University scientists, including professors Andrew Baker and Hugh Montgomery, warns that breath-hold diving can cause sudden, fatal shallow water or hypoxic blackouts even in young, healthy swimmers. 在个人悲剧的启发下, Baker 的儿子在潜水前超速呼吸后差点死亡, Montgomery 的儿子在潜伏时死亡, 尽管他经历过这样的经历。 报告解释说,超速呼吸降低了二氧化碳,推迟了呼吸的冲动,增加了停电风险。 Inspired by personal tragedies—Baker’s son nearly died after hyperventilating before diving, and Montgomery’s son died while snorkeling despite being experienced—the report explains that hyperventilation lowers carbon dioxide, delaying the urge to breathe and increasing blackout risk. 作者敦促有监督的呼吸会合,与伴侣游泳,为救生员配备救援工具和除颤器,强调任何人都不能幸免,不管是否健康或技能如何。 The authors urge supervised breath-hold sessions, swimming with a partner, and equipping lifeguards with rescue tools and defibrillators, emphasizing that no one is immune regardless of fitness or skill.
