Abstract: Decompression sickness is a condition that results from an abrupt change from a higher to a lower pressure. It is described most commonly in divers; however, it can occur in aviation incidents, which this case report will discuss. Following an acute cabin...
Decompression Sickness
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Decompression Sickness.
Comparison of tissue oxygenation achieved breathing oxygen from a demand valve with four different mask configurations.
Abstract: High concentration normobaric oxygen (Oâ) is a priority in treating divers with suspected decompression illness. The effect of different Oâ mask configurations on tissue oxygenation when breathing with a demand valve was...
[Hyperbaric medicine and emergency medicine, an example of decompression sickness in diving].
Abstract: One of the reasons for the emergency use of a hyperbaric chamber concerns a diving-related accident. Decompression sickness is potentially serious; it requires urgent treatment and hyperbaric recompression. It is caused by the formation of nitrogen bubbles...
Trans-Catheter Aspiration of Systemic Air Embolism Causing Cardiac Compromise During CT-Guided Lung Biopsy, a Potentially Lifesaving Maneuver.
Abstract: Systemic artery embolism is a rare complication of CT-guided lung biopsy. Immediate clinical and radiological recognitions are crucial for rapid intervention and prevention of fatal outcome. Although hyperbaric oxygen is the suggested treatment of mildly...
