Time to treatment for decompression illness
Health and Safety Executive Time to treatment for decompression illness Prepared by north Sea Medical Centre for the Health and Safety Executive 2007 RR550 Research Report Health and Safety Executive Time to treatment for decompression illness Dr Werner Stipp north Sea Medical Centre 3 Lowestoft Road Gorleston on Sea Great Yarmouth Norfolk NR 31 6SG Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) is the standard and definitive treatment for divers with decompression illness (DCI). There is conflicting evidence in the medical literature on whether DCI is more responsive to early rather than late treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The main aim of this study is to investigate the influence of time to treatment with HBO in divers with neurological DCI. Here we show that early HBO treatment in divers with neurological DCI is robustly associated with a better outcome. There is a suggestion in this study that divers with DCI are less responsive if HBO treatment is delayed for 350 minutes or more (or approximately six hours) after surfacing from the incident dive.
