"Decompression illness" on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
J Cardiothorac SurgAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used for critically ill patients with cardiopulmonary failure. Air in the ECMO circuit is an emergency, a rare but fatal complication. Case presentation: We introduce a case of a 76-year-old female who suffered from cardiac arrest complicated with severe ...

Nanobubbles Form at Active Hydrophobic Spots on the Luminal Aspect of Blood Vessels: Consequences for Decompression Illness in Diving and Possible Implications for Autoimmune Disease—An Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Decompression illness (DCI) occurs following a reduction in ambient pressure. Decompression bubbles can expand and develop only from pre-existing gas micronuclei.

Decompression illness in Finnish technical divers: a follow-up study on incidence and self-treatment. [PDF]
Diving Hyperb Med, 2022 INTRODUCTION Technical diving is increasing in popularity in Finland, and therefore the number of decompression illness (DCI) cases is also increasing among technical divers. Although hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) remains the standard of care, there

Decompression Illness in a Scuba Diver With Significant Esophageal Injury. [PDF]
ACG Case Rep J, 2022 Scuba divers are at risk of decompression illness, of which arterial gas embolism is the most feared consequence. Severe complications involving the gastrointestinal tract are rare. In this report, we describe a case of an experienced scuba diver who was

Journal of Marine Medical Society, 2019 Decompression illness (DCI) describes a syndrome complex caused by inert gas bubbles generated by an inappropriate rate of reduction in ambient environmental pressure or decompression. This “umbrella term” covers both traditional decompression sickness caused by in-situ bubble formation from dissolved inert gas and arterial gas embolism (AGE), in which

A case of decompression illness not responding to hyperbaric oxygen. [PDF]
J Intensive Care, 2018 BACKGROUND: The case reinforces the importance of stepping back and looking at every possibility along with multiple co-existing pathologies. It takes into account the thought process of multiple systems and a multidisciplinary team approach. Learning points to take are that decompression illness can present atypically, but one must exclude other ...

Decompression illness: a comprehensive overview
Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine JournalDecompression illness is a collective term for two maladies (decompression sickness [DCS] and arterial gas embolism [AGE]) that may arise during or after surfacing from compressed gas diving. Bubbles are the presumed primary vector of injury in both disorders, but the respective sources of bubbles are distinct.
