Massive Ischemic Stroke Due to Pulmonary Barotrauma and Cerebral Artery Air Embolism During Commercial Air Travel.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Air embolism into the systemic arterial circulation secondary to pulmonary barotrauma has rarely been reported. Herein, we report the clinical course of an extremely rare presentation of cerebral air embolism likely due to ruptured pulmonary...
Clinical Trial – Inflammatory and Cerebrospinal Biochemical Markers in Blood During Prolonged Hyperbaric Exposure
Research hypothesis
– Prolonged hyperbaric exposure will affect the central nervous system
– Prolonged hyperbaric exposure will induce inflammatory changes
– Prolonged hyperbaric exposure will affect fluid regulation in the body
Objectives:
– To investigate the presence of cerebrospinal biochemical markers in blood during
prolonged hyperbaric exposure
– To investigate changes in the quantity of cerebrospinal biochemical markers in blood
during decompression after prolonged hyperbaric exposure
– To investigate the presence of inflammatory markers in blood during prolonged hyperbaric
exposure
– To investigate changes in the quantity of inflammatory markers in blood during
decompression after prolonged hyperbaric exposure
– To investigate if prolonged hyperbaric exposure alters fluid balance in the body
Clinical Trial – Markers of Central Nervous System Injury in Decompression Sickness
Research hypothesis
– There is a correlation between the quantity of fluid markers of CNS injury in blood and
DCS.
– There is a correlation between quantity and kind of fluid markers of CNS injury in blood
and both diving profile and severity of DCS.
– There is a correlation between the quantity of inflammatory markers in blood an DCS.
Objectives:
– Assess whether individuals suffering decompression sickness exhibit fluid markers of
central nervous system injury.
– Evaluate the correlation between quantity and kind of fluid marker of CNS injury and
clinical signs of neurological impairment.
– Evaluate the correlation between quantity and kind of fluid marker of CNS injury and
clinical outcome after 3-6 months.
– Assess whether individuals suffering decompression sickness exhibit inflammatory markers
in blood.
