Inner ear decompression sickness
The Laryngoscope, 1976AbstractWith recent increases in commercial, military, and sport diving to deeper depths, inner ear injuries during such exposures have been encountered more frequently and noted during several phases of diving: during compression, at stable deep depths, with excessive noise exposure in diving, and during decompression.

Hypobaric decompression sickness
Emergency Medicine, 1995AbstractThe Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) mimics emergency aircraft decompression and hypoxia in a chamber decompressed over two to six minutes to a simulated altitude of 25,000 feet (7500m). Air crews in the chamber are trained to use oxygen apparatus including positive pressure breathing systems under these conditions.

Decompression Sickness in a Private Pilot
Southern Medical Journal, 1995Although safe, civil aviation can result in some unique medical problems. Most physicians are not familiar with aviation-related medical problems. One such problem, decompression sickness, is not mentioned in most medical texts, and is not included in most medical school instruction.

SCOTOMA AS A COMPLICATION OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1946EARLY attention to physiologic disturbances on ascent to high altitudes was directed to the effects of decreased partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen. The elimination of this factor with the use of modern oxygen equipment has disclosed new aspects of the situation no less serious in the development of full utilization and effectiveness of present and

Decompression Sickness in Aviation
1970Although the clinical syndrome of decompression sickness was recognized in divers and compressed air workers as ‘caisson disease’ some 120 years ago, the first clear description of decompression sickness arising in men exposed to sub-atmospheric pressure was not made until 1930.

Screening test for decompression sickness
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1977The fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) tests were studied in 18 patients having a history of illness associated with diving. FDP tests were performed prior to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (OHP). Eight patients were serious neurologic signs had positive FDP tests and required repetitive therapy.

The variation in susceptibility to decompression sickness
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1968The Weibull function is shown to provide a particularly good fit for published data demonstrating the variation between individuals with respect to their susceptibility to decompression sickness. These data include the distributions of minimum bends depths for men and for goats breathing air,and that of resting pilots for aerial decompression.The ...

Barotrauma and Decompression Sickness
1991Divers are candidates for three types of thoracic trauma: drowning/near drowning, pulmonary barotrauma, and decompression sickness. The clinical and radiographic manifestations of drowning/near-drowning have already been discussed. In this chapter, the pulmonary abnormalities associated with barotrauma and decompression sickness will be presented.
