Global Amnesia from cold water???

[boat sju]

@ Octgal --- what sort of water temperature and what sort of exposure protection was your buddy wearing? Had he done that dive before? Did he exhibit signs of hypothermia such as purple lips, shivering, etc?

Was he having problems equalizing, and therefore doing vigorous Vasalva maneuvers (listed by Doc V. as a possible cause)?

Charlie,

Sorry but this was an old thread. I was searching on TGA and just hooked onto this thread. Octgal hasn't been on the board in over a year.

The authors did a thorough literature review and discussed the two cases in the article. They do not believe that the TGA was related to breathing a hyperoxic mixture.

And neither do I.
