Risk estimation for scuba diving
Risk calculator for scuba diving.
For the background of the risk calculator see:
The “Risk of Harm “ formula, derived from the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Consensus conference in 1992 has been developed for the estimation of risk in drivers with an ICD. This formula has the following equitation: RH =TD x V x SCI x Ac
This can be rewritten for scuba diving as:
RH =TD x SCI
Indicating the yearly risk of a diving fatality due to cardiovascular disease.
TD: diving time per year: for the average diver, who performs 20-30 dives a year, TD can be put on 0.003. (averaging the duration of the dive to one hour, the 30 hours per year means 30/8760 hours exposure , equals about to 0.003).
SCI: yearly sudden risk of incapacitation: this can be derived from epidemiological and clinical data.
So, for the “average”diver, the formula may be re-written as:
RH = 0.003 SCI.
