Decompression Illnesses and the Spinal Cord [PDF]

, 1992
Although diving as a purposeful activity has been going on since at least 5000 BC and almost certainly predates any recorded history, the decompression illnesses which can result from diving are a comparatively recent phenomenon and were not even described in detail until well into the 19th century.

Abdominal decompression illness following repetitive diving: a case report and review of the literature.

Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine, 2019
The complete pathophysiology of decompression illness is not yet fully understood. What is known is that the longer a diver breathes pressurized air at depth, the more likely nitrogen bubbles are to form once the diver returns to surface [1].

Acute decompression illness in UK tunnelling

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering, 2006
Civil engineers have used compressed air to stabilise wet ground for over 150 years and continue to do so. But since 2001, compressed-air workers in the UK can no longer decompress on air alone—it now has to be done with the aid of oxygen. Despite one of the strictest regulatory environments in the world, Britain's construction industry recorded 428 ...

Neurologic and psychologic manifestations of decompression illness in divers

Neurology, 1977
It has been widely accepted that the neurologic sequelae of decompression illness are confined to the spinal cord. Of 10 divers who gave a history of an episode of decompression illness involving the central nervous system, we found that eight had unequivocal neurologic deficits implicating multiple supraspinal lesions.

Vascular hyperpermeability in pulmonary decompression illness: ‘The chokes’

Emergency Medicine Australasia, 2012
AbstractDecompression illness (DCI) develops during or after diving. Pulmonary decompression illness (‘Chokes’) is rarely seen because the affected individual usually dies in the water. We encountered a rare and interesting case. A 60‐year‐old man complained of leg pain after diving.

Decompression Illness Reported in a Survey of 429 Recreational Divers

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2008
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of diving experience and diving techniques on the lifetime incidence of decompression illness (DCI).Attendants of three diving medical symposia voluntarily answered a questionnaire about their age, gender, medical history, diving experience, diving habits, diving certification levels, and ...

Central motor conduction time in neurological decompression illness

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology/Evoked Potentials Section, 1993
Abstract Central motor conduction time from cortex to lumbar spine was found to be delayed in 5 divers with histories of neurological decompression illness incorporating residual lower limb motor and sensory deficits, when compared with 15 non-diver controls.
