Full-Face Mask Use during SCUBA Diving Counters Related Oxidative Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction.

Accordingly, FMD variation values were 102 ± 6.7% ( p = 0.168, NS = nonsignificant) and 94.3 ± 3.6% ( p < 0.0001) when utilizing a full-face mask and a half-face mask (regular mask), the difference between both conditions being highly significant ( p = 0.001) ( Figure 2 ).

FMD after hypoxic breathing showed a trend to increase, therefore suggesting that the influence of hypoxia-triggered microparticle formation is limited in our setting and, possibly, a greater influence of inspired NO.
