Decompression illness is caused by intravascular or extravascular bubbles that are formed as a result of reduction in environmental pressure (decompression). The term covers both arterial gas embolism, in which alveolar gas or venous gas emboli (via cardiac shunts or via pulmonary vessels) are introduced into the arterial circulation, and decompression

Neuroradiology, 2000
We report a case of decompression illness in which the patient developed paraparesis during scuba diving after rapid ascent. MRI of the spine revealed a focal intramedullary lesion consistent with the symptoms. The pathophysiological and radiological aspects of spinal decompression illness are discussed.

Updates in Decompression Illness
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2017Decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, collectively known as decompression illness (DCI), are rare but serious afflictions that can result from compressed gas diving exposures. Risk is primarily determined by the pressure-time profile but is influenced by several factors.

Resolution and severity in decompression illness.
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2009omegaWe review the terminology of decompression illness (DCI), investigations of residual symptoms of decompression sickness (DCS), and application of survival analysis for investigating DCI severity and resolution. The Type 1 and Type 2 DCS classifications were introduced in 1960 for compressed air workers and adapted for diving and altitude exposure ...

Haemoconcentration in Neurological Decompression Illness
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1996Decompression illness (DCI) is attributed to the formation of bubbles, resulting from the reduction of the ambient pressure. Circulating bubbles lead to capillary leak syndrome, extravasation of plasma and haemoconcentration. Experimental model on animals has shown that a haemoconcentration carried a poor prognosis. We measured the haematocrit level in

Embolic Inner Ear Decompression Illness: Correlation With a Right-to-Left Shunt†
Laryngoscope, 2003 Objectives/Hypothesis: Inner ear decompression illness is thought to be a rare phenomenon in recreational divers, isolated signs and symptoms of inner ear dysfunction usually being attributed to inner ear barotrauma.

Decompression Illness in Divers: A Review of the Literature
The Neurologist, 2002Neurologists may be consulted to diagnose and treat the severe neurologic injuries that can occur in divers with decompression illness (DCI).Subclinical bubbles form during normal diving activity. DCI, a diffuse and multifocal process, results when bubbles cause symptoms by exerting mass effect in tissues, or obstructing venous or arterial flow.

Hyperbaric emergencies and decompression illness
Réanimation, 2015La maladie de decompression represente l’urgence la plus importante liee a l’exposition au milieu hyperbare. En general, le diagnostic immediat, ainsi que la prise en charge rapide permettent au malade de recuperer sans aucune sequelle. L’urgentiste et le reanimateur doivent connaitre les signes cliniques possibles, car il n’y en a aucun de specifique,

Synonyms of decompression illness (DCI) are dysbaric illness (DI), decompression sickness (DCS), decompression accident or caisson disease. As DCS and AGE quite often occur together, these are commonly summarised as DCI or DI which is used as the preferred term for decompression-related accidents.

An introduction to decompression illness.
British journal of hospital medicine, 1991Decompression illness was formerly an occupational hazard confined to professional divers and compressed-air workers. With the increasing popularity of recreational diving it has come to involve a wider cross-section of the population. Furthermore, the proportion of cases presenting with the more serious manifestations of the disease appears to be ...
