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.

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.

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 ...

Occupation as a risk factor in tunnelling decompression illness

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2006
The UK has an extensive collection of records of exposure to compressed air in tunnelling which are analysed periodically. The paper assesses occupation as a risk factor in tunnelling Decompression Illness (DCI) and is based on a batch of records covering around 120000 exposures derived from almost 2400 men on 34 contracts dating from the mid 1980s ...

The cost of decompression illness: the case of lobster and sea cucumber fishery in Yucatan, Mexico.

Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine, 2018
Diving fisheries are an important source of income and protein for many coastal communities around the world. However, these fisheries are also the cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries.
