INTRODUCTION: Air flow in full-face snorkel masks (FFSMs) should be unidirectional to prevent rebreathing of exhaled air. This study evaluated rebreathing and its consequences when using FFSMs compared to a conventional snorkel.
METHODS: In a dry environment 20 participants wore three types of snorkel equipment in random order: Subea Easybreath FFSM; QingSong 180-degree panoramic FFSM; and a Beuchat Spy conventional snorkel (with nose clip), in three conditions: rest in a chair; light; and moderate intensity exercise on a cycle ergometer. Peripheral oxygen saturation, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and oxygen (PO2) in the end tidal gas and FFSM eye-pockets, respiratory rate, minute ventilation, were measured continuously. Experiments were discontinued if oxygen saturation dropped below 85%, or if end-tidal CO2 exceeded 7.0 kPa.
RESULTS: Experimental runs with the FFSMs had to be discontinued more often after exceeding 7.0 kPa end-tidal CO2 compared to a conventional snorkel e.g., 18/40 (45%) versus 4/20 (20%) during light intensity exercise, and 9/22 (41%) versus 3/16 (19%) during moderate intensity exercise. Thirteen participants exhibited peripheral oxygen saturations below 95% (nine using FFSMs and four using the conventional snorkel) and five fell below 90% (four using FFSMs and one using the conventional snorkel). The PCO2 and PO2 in the eye-pockets of the FFSMs fluctuated and were significantly higher and lower respectively than in inspired gas, which indicated rebreathing in all FFSM wearers.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of FFSMs may result in rebreathing due to non-unidirectional flow, leading to hypercapnia and hypoxaemia.
