Decompression illness: a comprehensive overview
Diving Hyperb Med. 2024 Mar 31;54(1Suppl):1-53. doi: 10.28920/dhm54.1.suppl.1-53.ABSTRACTDecompression illness is a collective term for two maladies (decompression sickness [DCS] and arterial gas embolism [AGE]) that may arise during or after surfacing from compressed gas diving. Bubbles are the presumed primary vector of injury in both disorders, but the respective sources of bubbles are distinct. In DCS bubbles form primarily from inert gas that becomes dissolved in tissues over the course of a compressed gas dive. During and after ascent ('decompression'), if the pressure of this dissolved gas exceeds ambient pressure s...

Efficacy of searching in biomedical databases beyond MEDLINE in identifying randomised controlled trials on hyperbaric oxygen treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Systematic reviews of RCTs in HBOT should always utilise multiple databases, which at minimum include MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and CINAHL.PMID:38507904 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.2-8 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for infants: retrospective analysis of 54 patients treated in two tertiary care centres
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that HBOT may be a safe and effective treatment for infants. Paediatricians should consider HBOT when indicated in infants even for the preterm age group.PMID:38507905 | DOI:10.28920/dhm54.1.9-15 (Source: Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine)
