was there an accident at CSSP ??

[FIXXERVI6]

Was out at CSSP today, heard something about an instructor being non response after doing CESA drills with students, any details on the accident and condition of the diver?

I was there, but not involved.

The details I got were sketchy, but as I understand it, the instuctor had some sort of asthma attack at the surface, inhaled water and went unresponsive. CPR was successfully performed in part by her husband and a conscious alert individual was sent to the hospital.

I learned that we no longer have O2 in our locker. I felt really bad about that one.

wow, hope it was on teh surface and not under, asthma attack + CESA simulatin would be a really bad mix.

It wasn’t an asthma attack; more of respiratory distress along with fluid on the lungs. She did not swallow lake water; however, they were conducting CESA skills at the time. While I understand that she was alert when the ambulance left the park, things got much worse at the hospital. She was moved to Dallas via Care flight yesterday afternoon but her condition is not good at all. She is currently in ICU and not conscious.

I am only passing on general condition at this point, so I would prefer to not share her name / shop / etc.

We in the local diving community sure are praying for her recovery. Thank you for the update.

Update - They are operating now. Her lungs are filled with fluid and the doctors do not know why. Obviously, this is not a good sign.

Man, I really hate to hear about stuff like this happening, so I hope all ends well.

 

[Bandit82]

Current status - she survived sugery to clear her lungs. Stauts us still the same however.

Thoughts and prayers for her and her husband.
