	Just kind of curious, how many people out there can name all 4 (or 5 depending on how you group them) pulmonary overinflation syndrome’s? Ran into a few divers lately and they had absolutely no idea what they are called or how they are caused, areas they effect, or The symptoms. How much do you know about them??

Answer Choices

#1 I can name a couple

13 (30.2%)

#2 I can name them all but not sure which one is which

4 (9.3%)

#3 I can name them all and understand all of them

12 (27.9%)

#4 I have no idea what you are talking about

14 (32.6%)

[Choose #3] POIS is discussed briefly in basic SCUBA courses along with the symptoms and treatments, and much more in advanced courses. Knowing all the technical names isn’t as important as knowing what causes POIS, and how to prevent them.
