Lesley is a highly experienced researcher in the field of hyperbaric and hypobaric research, and has particular expertise in Doppler audio measurement of cardiac decompression bubbles.
The measurement of inert gas bubbles post-decompression is the most commonly used method of assessing 'decompression stress', whether it be for a new diving table, a new piece of diving gear, or a potential method of decompression sickness prophylaxis. There are very few fully trained and experienced independant Doppler operators around the World.
Lesley is also experienced in using ultrasound imaging for diving studies. She has recently published a paper in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, the Journal of the European Underwater and Baromedical Society, on the standardisation of Doppler and ultrasound methodology in the field of diving research.
If you have need of any help in this field, whether it be to design a study, administer a research project, carry out a literature review, help you write a grant in English, or even if you just need an experienced pair of hands to make Doppler or 2D Ultrasound measurements, then please get in touch, as I may be able to help!
