## EUBS ExCom Elections 2020 

## • ELECTED AS Member at Large 2020-2023 


**Oscar CAMACHO** Porto, Portugal 

## **Oscar CAMACHO** 

is a Senior Anesthesiologist and Medical Director of the Hyperbaric Medical Unit at the Hospital Pedro Hispano, Matosinhos, Portugal. He is the Founder and President of the Portuguese Hyperbaric and Subaquatic Medical College, and Medical Director of DAN Europe Portugal since 2009. 

Aside from Hyperbaric Medicine, his clinical work involves work in the ICU and Emergency Room, including pre-hospital medical care and helicopter emergency critical transport. He is active in academic work as an Invited Lecturer in Medical Toxicology, Pharmaceutical Therapeutics and Medical Physiology Departments at the University of Porto Faculty of Medicine and Institute of Biomedical Sciences. 

He is a member of EUBS since more than 10 years; Executive Board member of ECHM (European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine), of the European Resuscitation Council (instructor) and various Portuguese Medical Societies. He has authored 2 "first-author" and 14 "co-authored" peer-reviewed scientific publications, numerous oral and poster presentations in the field of diving and hyperbaric medicine, and 2 book chapters. 

He is an experienced diver (CMAS Level 3 Instructor, SSI Instructor, TDI Instructor including Basic Trimix, Rebreather, Advanced Gas Blender), and DAN Europe Instructor Trainer. He will be the organiser and Secretary General of the 2023 EUBS Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held in Porto. 



## EUBS ExCom Elections 2020 

## • LEAVING ExCom as Member at Large 2017 


**Rodrigue PIGNEL** Geneva, Switzerland 

## **Rodrigue PIGNEL** 

graduated in underwater and hyperbaric medicine in 1995, he worked until 2010 at the hyperbaric centre of Martinique (French Antilles). He then joined the University Hospitals of Geneva’s new hyperbaric medicine consultation, of which he became medical director in 2012. 

In 2016, he and his team were in charge of the medical assistance of deep saturation dives (13 ATA) on a dam at high altitude (1800m). It is probably a European record because of depth and altitude. They have had to manage emergency evacuation procedures and teach all the team to be prepared to emergency medical actions under high pressure. 

Rodrigue is a member of EUBS since 2010, after coming back to Europe. He was the organiser of the 42nd EUBS Annual Scientific Meeting, in Geneva, 2016. He is Member at Large since 2017. Since 2 years, he is in charge of the Oxynet website Update 

He is also member of the ExCom of the French hyperbaric medicine society (MedSubHyp) and member of the educational committee of the Swiss Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Society (SUHMS). He created in 2018 the ICHF (Association Internationale des Centres Hyperbares Francophones). He is a dive instructor since 1993, qualified in nitrox and rebreather diving. Two years ago, he passed the level IIIC hyperbaric qualification, which allows him to direct and perform saturation dives. 



## EUBS ExCom 2020-2021 

: **New composition of EUBS ExCom 2019-2020** • President: Ole Hyldegaard • Vice-President: Jean-Eric Blatteau • Immediate Past President: Jacek Kot • Past President: Costantino Balestra •Member at Large 2018: François Guerrero • Member at Large 2019: Gerardo Bosco •Member at Large 2020: Oscar Camacho • Membership Secretary – Treasurer: Kath Pye • Honorary Secretary: Peter Germonpré • EUBS Liaison Officer: Phil Bryson • DHM, European/Deputy Editor: Lesley Blogg

**Research & Education Committee** 

• Propose activities (e.g workshop @ EUBS Meeting); • Evaluate (Travel Grant &) Research Grant applications 

• Costantino Balestra, Jean-Eric Blatteau, Karin Hasmiller 



EUBS ExCom proposed change 

• At previous ExCom meetings it has already been suggested that a three-year Member at Large term is too short for any MaL to be really productive (Year 1 = “getting to now”, Year 2 = “somewhat active”, Year 3 = “active”). Four years would be better . 

• This would mean increase to 4 MaL 

• Consequences for EUBS 

• Financial: ExCom members receive free registration to EUBS Annual Meeting (400-500Euro/year) 

• Need for Constitution Change 

• ExCom proposes to go ahead with this and will prepare Constitution Change proposal (July 2021) 

- In the mean time: outgoing MaL may be co-opted in adhoc Committees
