Decompression illness

The Lancet, 2011
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

MRI in decompression illness

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.

Hyperbaric emergencies and decompression illness [PDF]

open access: possibleRéanimation, 2015
La 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,

Resolution and Severity in Decompression Illness

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2009
omegaWe 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 ...

Evaluation and management of decompression illness—an intensivist’s perspective [PDF]

open access: possibleIntensive Care Medicine, 2003
Decompression illness (DCI) is becoming more prevalent as more people engage in activities involving extreme pressure environments such as recreational scuba-diving. Rapid diagnosis and treatment offer these patients the best chance of survival with minimal sequelae.

Decompression Illness in Divers: A Review of the Literature

The Neurologist, 2002
Neurologists 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.

Decompression Illnesses and the Spinal Cord [PDF]

open access: possible, 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.

Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for the secondary prevention of decompression illness in sports divers: mind the gap.

Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine, 2019
Objective To evaluate the efficiency of percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure on the recurrence of decompression illness (DCI). Design Retrospective, observational study with interview and questionnaire.

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].
