lanatosides and Respiratory-Insufficiency

Recompression remains the primary form of treatment in decompression sickness, but severe cases require ancillary treatment. The case of a compressed air worker with decompression sickness is presented who, in addition to recompression, required 5.5 of I.V. fluids in the first 8 h, heparin, digitalis, steroids, and respiratory support, to prevent death. The report includes a description of the precipitation causes, the course during recompression, the drugs and dosages used, and comments on respirator treatment.
