“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.

Oxygenation Performance of Different Non-Invasive Devices for Treatment of Decompression Illness and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Study Objective: Application of high concentrations of oxygen to increase oxygen partial pressure (pO2) is the most important treatment for patients with carbon monoxide intoxication or divers with suspected decompression illness.

Decompression illness: a comprehensive overview. [PDF]
Diving Hyperb MedDecompression 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.

Decompression Illness in a Scuba Diver With Significant Esophageal Injury. [PDF]
ACG Case Rep J, 2022 ABSTRACT 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 forced to rapidly ascend because of a mechanical failure.

A case of decompression illness not responding to hyperbaric oxygen [PDF]
Journal of 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.

Urticaria‐like decompression illness in a caisson worker treated successfully in a monoplace chamber [PDF]
Acute Medicine & Surgery, 2022 Background Although decompression illness is rare for nondivers, it can happen in an environment involving rapid decompression. Recompression is the recommended treatment.

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.
