Delayed Recompression for Decompression Sickness: Retrospective Analysis
INTRODUCTION Most cases of decompression sickness (DCS) occur soon after surfacing, with 98% within 24 hours. Recompression using hyperbaric chamber should be administrated as soon as feasible in order to decrease bubble size and avoid further tissue injury. Unfortunately, there may be a significant time delay from surfacing to recompression. The time beyond which hyperbaric treatment is non ef...
متن کاملAcclimatization to neurological decompression sickness in rabbits.
Diving acclimatization refers to a reduced susceptibility to acute decompression sickness (DCS) in individuals undergoing repeated compression-decompression cycles. We demonstrated in a previous study that the mechanism responsible for this acclimatization is similar to that of stress preconditioning. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of prior DCS preconditioning on the sever...
متن کاملRecompression therapy of mountain sickness.
This paper describes the treatment of a severe case of acute mountain sickness with a portable hyperbaric chamber. A 37-year old climber was treated for acute high altitude pulmonary oedema, which developed on the North Col of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 7,060 m. The treatment in the portable Gamow bag hyperbaric chamber lasted two hours, with a bag pressure of 103 mm Hg (0.136 kg/cm2 or 2...
متن کاملLate consequences of the neurological forms of decompression sickness.
Various neurological forms of decompression sickness are classified and an inquiry two and a half to five and a half years after the acute illness is reported. One hundred subjects with decompression sickness of the central nervous system were examined. In more than half of the cases the clinical picture was that of chronic encephalomyelopathy, vegetative neurosis, or psychosomatic symptoms. Sy...
متن کاملWhy predominantly neurological decompression sickness in breath-hold divers?
It has been widely believed that human free divers were immune to decompression sickness because the only inert gas added during a breath-hold dive is the nitrogen (N2) that remains in the lungs from the inhalation before submerging. However, there has been anecdotal evidence from case reports of divers suffering neurological symptoms after repeated free dives. In breath-hold divers of the Tuam...
