“Decompression illness” on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground 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.

Recurrent Decompression Illness Even After the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Diver [PDF]
JACC: Case Reports, 2023 Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for the development of decompression illness (DCI) and a therapeutic target for preventing the recurrence of DCI because nitrogen bubbles generated during diving can be paradoxically embolized through the PFO ...

Decompression Illness in Repetitive Breath-Hold Diving: Why Ischemic Lesions Involve the Brain? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Nitrogen (N2) accumulation in the blood and tissues can occur due to breath-hold (BH) diving. Post-dive venous gas emboli have been documented in commercial BH divers (Ama) after repetitive dives with short surface intervals.

The risk of decompression illness in breath-hold divers: a systematic review. [PDF]
Diving Hyperb Med, 2023 INTRODUCTION Breath-hold (BH) diving has known risks, for example drowning, pulmonary oedema of immersion and barotrauma. There is also the risk of decompression illness (DCI) from decompression sickness (DCS) and/or arterial gas embolism (AGE).

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.
