  • DCS Treatment Updates
    Treatment of Decompression Sickness Operational Update – May 2001 Aspirin is NO LONGER USED in the treatment of DCS. Reasons: ASA administration has never been shown to help prevent or treat bubbles DCS may induce microhemorrhages in tissues. ASA slows clotting. Hard to determine if symptom decrease is due to HBO treatment table or ASA This may be a critical treatment decision factor if using TT-5 Hyperbaric Oxygen is the only necessary and sufficient drug for DCS Employment of 100% O2 by tight fitting aviators mask during transportation to HBO chamber For mild to moderate symptoms with no CNS or spinal neurological involvement: Use cycles of 50 min of 100% O2, followed by a 10 min air break, instead of continuous O2 Reasons: Air breaks minimize likelihood of pulmonary and CNS O2 toxicity Rehydrate & feed patient orally during air break May obviate need for IV rehydration Bathroom privileges during air breaks You ever wear a tight fitting oxygen mask for 3 hours straight? Patient can call spouse – “I’ll be home late tonight.” Air breaks are NOT used during SLO2 (Surface Oxygen) treatment protocols For severe symptoms, chokes, shock, CNS, spinal, or worsening Sx despite O2 therapy: Use continuous O2 therapy with IV rehydration (0.9% Saline or Ringers Lactate, NOT D5W) In general, do not pass up an otherwise acceptable monoplace facility (with BIBS) in favor of a multiplace facility for treatment of severe DCS or AGE if the additional travel time to the multiplace exceeds 30 minutes. Less than 30 minutes difference, or mild to moderate symptoms, requires the sending physician to consider risks and benefits of treatment delay versus multiplace advantages.

Thanks to the supports and encouragements by the readers in and out of the college, we successfully published this fourth volume with a special number. It is true that we received many supports and appreciation from not only Japan but also overseas. Now that HA/DR mission has been widely acknowledged as military operation in international society, it is quite meaningful for us who have been through the Great East Japan Earthquake to provide research sources with international society. Therefore, we have selected two papers from Volume 1 Number 2, featuring HA/DR and published as an English version.
