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. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
