The probability and severity of decompression sickness
Decompression sickness (DCS), which is caused by inert gas bubbles in tissues, is an injury of concern for scuba divers, compressed air workers, astronauts, and aviators. Case reports for 3322 air and N2-O2 dives, resulting in 190 DCS events, were retrospectively analyzed and the outcomes were scored as (1) serious neurological, (2) cardiopulmonary, (3) mild neurological, (4) pain, (5) lymphati...
متن کاملBrain multi-infarct and decompression sickness
Scuba diving is associated with an important risk of developing decompression sickness secondary to formation of gas bubbles inside the body. The latter is formed mainly by nitrogen in the body on the diver’s way to the surface (1,2). In some cases, it might injure the central nervous system. Several decompression cases that have been associated with neurologic symptoms are described in the l...
متن کاملHypobaric Decompression Sickness and Adynamia
INTRODUCTION A large discrepancy exists between ground-based estimates of decompression sickness (DCS) incidence during simulated extra-vehicular activity (EVA) and actual reports of DCS from EVA crewmembers. The discrepancy could be due to the effect of gravity during ground-based DCS studies. The lack of weight-bearing loads (sometimes named adynamia) will relieve pressure within the joints, ...
متن کاملGoodbye Decompression Sickness
by T.J.R. Francis, D.J. Smith and J.J. W. Sykes, Institute of Naval Medicine, Hampshire, England. The current means by which we classify decompression sickness dates back only 30 years to the experience gained during the construction of the Dartford Tunnel in London. Golding et al [1] proposed a system for decompression sickness based upon perceived severity of the cases which arose in the cais...
متن کاملDecompression sickness: a review.
Work in compressed air is a dangerous activity, whether it is carried on under water in a conventional diving suit, in self-contained breathing apparatus or in a diving bell, or in relatively dry conditions in a caisson or an underwater tunnel. Surprisingly large numbers of men have worked at one time or another in compressed air in tunnels or caissons and it is the dangers which arise to the h...
