Resolution of neurological DCI after long treatment delays. [Journal Article]
Undersea Hyperb Med 2008 May-Jun; 35(3):159-61.
We report two interesting cases in which both divers sustained a very serious Type II decompression sickness. This involved substantial neurological impairment which was successfully treated despite having a delayed treatment time 12 hours or more. The treatment used hyperbaric oxygen recompression therapy with the addition oflidocaine i.v. drip. This first case was in November 2007 and the second was in December 2007 and both patients made excellent recoveries.
