“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.

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.

Comments on unresponsive decompression illness case [PDF]
Journal of Intensive Care, 2018 We have read the case report about a decompression sickness that was unresponsive to hyperbaric oxygen treatment in your journal. Presented case is intriguing; however, we think there are some contradictive issues in the discussion of the case.

Decompression illness - critical review
Journal of Marine Medical Society, 2015 Decompression illness is caused by intravascular or extravascular bubbles that are formed as a result of reduction in environmental pressure (decompression).

Hyperacute brain magnetic resonance imaging of decompression illness in a commercial breath-hold diver [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports (discontinued), 2020 Decompression illness in breath‐hold diving is a rare dysbaric disease mainly characterized by stroke‐like neurological disorders. The early use of DWI‐MRI combined with ADC map in suspected cases can help in the early diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Comparison of treatment recompression tables for neurologic decompression illness in swine model [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Background Significant reductions in ambient pressure subject an individual to risk of decompression illness (DCI); with incidence up to 35 per 10,000 dives.

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.
