Aeromedical transport and evacuation of diving patients in cold climates and during the winter season, can lead to problems related to hypothermia. Cold weather can be dangerous and can cause mild hypothermia. Factors such as shock, hypotension and hypovolemia impair thermoregulation.

Saturation diving involves long periods at pressure, breathing an Heliox mixture. Helium, being a good heat conductor causes an increased heat loss, and the effect increases with depth. Inadequacy or malfunction of the heating system inside the Life, leads to hypothermia.

The study examines scientific research carried out by other scientists regarding exposure to HBO which causes hypothermia, bradycardia, head oscillation, resting tremor, and other symptoms and signs in rats. It also delves into the dangerous drop in body temperature, caused by long exposure to cold temperature during military operational missions.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of hypothermia on the diving illness and divers living in saturation diving systems including civil and military working activities in sea water and inland, designing guidelines and integrating course topics.
