ECHM
COLLECTION, VOLUME 1
Alessandro Marroni, Daniel Mathieu, Francis Wattel
The European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine has, during the last decade,
become a common referral for state-of-the-art hyperbaric medicine practice and
guidelines in Europe as well as internationally. This volume is intended to be
the first one of a series, hence the name ECHM Collection, and covers the action
of the ECHM since its inception. The multifaceted production of the ECHM will
this way be more readily available to the international scientific community.
The categories included are listed below and will give the reader a more
comprehensive idea of the detail described in this new title. Over 60
contributors include internationally known members of the hyperbaric and diving
medical communities.

review:
The ECHM Collection represents a
valuable addition to my library and is recommended to those who practice or
support the discipline of hyperbaric medicine. For the past decade, the European
hyperbaric community, through the auspices of its European Committee for
Hyperbaric Medicine, has worked cohesively and intelligently to define best
practice standards. The results are impressive, yet the proceedings and reports
that chronicle their recommended standards are increasingly difficult to
acquire, particularly with the passage of time. That these works have been
compiled into a single edition is enormously helpful. The extent and depth of
the material is unmatched in a single edition.
