Spinal decompression sickness with delayed onset, delayed treatment, and full recovery.
Decompression sickness is caused by nitrogen bubbles formed in the body of divers and people working with compressed air who leave a compressed environment too fast. The bubbles most commonly afflict the joints, skin, brain, spinal cord, and lungs. Decompression sickness, if untreated, may cause permanent functional damage and is potentially fatal. We report an unusual case of decompression sic...
متن کاملDecompression tables and dive-outcome data: graphical analysis.
We compare outcomes of experimental air dives with prescriptions for ascent given by various air decompression tables. Among experimental dives compiled in the U.S. Navy Decompression Database, many profiles that resulted in decompression sickness (DCS) have longer total decompression times (TDTs, defined as times spent at decompression stops plus time to travel from depth to the surface) than ...
متن کاملProbability of decompression sickness in no-stop air diving and subsaturation diving.
Probabilistic models allow estimation of the probability (Pdcs) that decompression sickness (DCS) will occur in any particular dive. Our objective is to provide Pdcs estimates for no-stop diving instructions used by the U.S. Navy and various other navies. To do so, we develop statistics-based (probabilistic) and intuition-based (deterministic) models using dive-outcome data from the U.S. Navy D...
متن کاملSaturation treatment in shore-based chambers for divers with deteriorating cerebro-spinal decompression sickness.
Nearly 4% of all primary recompression treatments in Scotland employ saturation tables (helium/oxygen-oxygen/air or oxygen/air alone). These cases usually involve divers presenting at the surface who then develop deteriorating spinal cord injury with varying degrees of cerebral involvement. Treatment is delivered either through immediate saturation therapy or through conversion of failing or fa...
متن کاملSpinal decompression sickness presenting as partial Brown-Sequard syndrome and treated with robotic-assisted body-weight support treadmill training.
OBJECTIVE To describe the rehabilitation outcome of a case of spinal decompression sickness presenting as partial Brown-Sequard syndrome treated with robotic-assisted body-weight support treadmill training. STUDY DESIGN Case report. BACKGROUND Type II decompression sickness patients commonly suffer from myelopathy with gait disturbances necessitating rehabilitation. Robotic-assisted body-we...
