| Abstract: | A clinical series of 115 cases of decompression sickness is presented. A very brief review of literature and the current attitudes towards decompression sickness is given, together with a discussion of the various clinical manifestations. This disease as it affects civilian and sports divers, is much more diverse and serious than is described in the traditional naval series. The reasons for this are propounded and recommendations for greater diving safety are made. The efficiency of current therapy is assessed and some suggestions are made regarding the use of oxygen recompression therapy, under water. |
