Sidenafil Pre-Treatment Promotes Decompression Sickness in Rats
Vascular bubble formation after decompression contributes to endothelial injuries which form the basis for the development of decompression sickness (DCS). Nitric oxide (NO) is a powerful vasodilator that contributes to vessel homeostasis. It has been shown that NO-releasing agent may reduce bubble formation and prevent serious decompression sickness. The use of sildenafil, a well-known, phosph...
متن کاملColonic Fermentation Promotes Decompression sickness in Rats
Massive bubble formation after diving can lead to decompression sickness (DCS). During dives with hydrogen as a diluent for oxygen, decreasing the body's H2 burden by inoculating hydrogen-metabolizing microbes into the gut reduces the risk of DCS. So we set out to investigate if colonic fermentation leading to endogenous hydrogen production promotes DCS in fasting rats. Four hours before an exp...
متن کاملAcclimation to decompression sickness in rats.
Protection against decompression sickness (DCS) by acclimation to hyperbaric decompression has been hypothesized but never proven. We exposed rats to acclimation dives followed by a stressful "test" dive to determine whether acclimation occurred. Experiments were divided into two phases. Phase 1 rats were exposed to daily acclimation dives of hyperbaric air for 30 min followed by rapid decompre...
متن کاملTreatment of 137 Cases of Decompression Sickness.
During the course of the last decade the incidence of decompression sickness within the Royal Navy has markedly increased. Whereas in the past such cases were largely the result of accident or negligence and fortunately rare, the testing of new techniques and tables has produced sufficient material to make some analysis of the various methods of treatment worth while. This paper consists of sum...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen pre-breathe modifies the outcome of decompression sickness.
Deep sea divers, aviators and astronauts are at risk of decompression sickness when the ambient pressure reductions exceed a critical threshold. Venous bubbles associated with decompression sickness have the potential to react with the vascular membrane and adjacent blood products, eliciting an inflammatory cascade. Preventive measures usually involve careful decompression procedures to avoid o...
