Treatment 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 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 کاملTreatment of decompression sickness in swine with intravenous perfluorocarbon emulsion.
BACKGROUND We examined an adjunctive treatment for severe decompression sickness (DCS) to be used when hyperbaric treatment is delayed or unavailable. HYPOTHESIS It has been hypothesized that intravenous perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion combined with 100% inspired O2 would improve the outcome in severe DCS. METHODS Swine (n = 45) were compressed to 4.9 ATA on air for 22 h and brought directly...
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 کاملSidenafil 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...
