  • Title: [Current management of diving-related spinal cord decompression sickness in 2010].
    Author: Louge P, Gempp E, Constantin P, Hugon M.
    Journal: Presse Med; 2010; 39(7-8):778-85. PubMed ID: 20466511.
    Abstract:
    The outcome of spinal cord decompression sickness after scuba diving is unpredictable during the 24 first hours with a high risk of incomplete recovery. The treatment is defined on first aid normobaric oxygen when neurological symptoms occur, rehydration and prompt recompression in hyperbaric chamber. The presence of initial motor impairment, the aggravation of symptoms during the transfer to the hyperbaric facility and the emergence of sphincter dysfunction are predictive of poor prognosis whatever the treatment undertaken.
