Delayed Recompression for Decompression Sickness: Retrospective Analysis
INTRODUCTION Most cases of decompression sickness (DCS) occur soon after surfacing, with 98% within 24 hours. Recompression using hyperbaric chamber should be administrated as soon as feasible in order to decrease bubble size and avoid further tissue injury. Unfortunately, there may be a significant time delay from surfacing to recompression. The time beyond which hyperbaric treatment is non ef...
متن کاملRecompression therapy of mountain sickness.
This paper describes the treatment of a severe case of acute mountain sickness with a portable hyperbaric chamber. A 37-year old climber was treated for acute high altitude pulmonary oedema, which developed on the North Col of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 7,060 m. The treatment in the portable Gamow bag hyperbaric chamber lasted two hours, with a bag pressure of 103 mm Hg (0.136 kg/cm2 or 2...
متن کاملRecompression and adjunctive therapy for decompression illness.
BACKGROUND Decompression illness (DCI) is due to bubble formation in the blood or tissues following the breathing of compressed gas. Clinically, DCI may range from a trivial illness to loss of consciousness, death or paralysis. Recompression is the universally accepted standard for the treatment of DCI. When recompression is delayed, a number of strategies have been suggested in order to improv...
متن کاملDecompression sickness in the rat following a dive on trimix: recompression therapy with oxygen vs. heliox and oxygen.
Trimix (a mixture of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen) has been used in deep diving to reduce the risk of high-pressure nervous syndrome during compression and the time required for decompression at the end of the dive. There is no specific recompression treatment for decompression sickness (DCS) resulting from trimix diving. Our purpose was to validate a rat model of DCS on decompression from a tr...
متن کاملRecompression Therapy Under Emergency Conditions: A Case of Type II Decompression Sickness Acil Durumlarda Rekompresyon Tedavisi: Tip II Dekompresyon Hastalığı
Decompression sickness presents with a great variety of signs and symptoms that might affect any part of the human body including joints, skin, cardio respiratory and nervous systems. In this manuscript, we reported a case of severe neurological Type II Decompression sickness who received recompression therapy. A 53-year-old man presented at the emergency service of our hospital with history of...
