Decompression Illness in Repetitive Breath-Hold Diving: Why Ischemic Lesions Involve the Brain?

Decompression Illness in Repetitive Breath-Hold Diving: Why Ischemic Lesions Involve the Brain?

Nitrogen (N2) accumulation in the blood and tissues can occur due to breath-hold (BH) diving. Post-dive venous gas emboli have been documented in commercial BH divers (Ama) after repetitive dives with short surface intervals. Hence, BH diving can theoretically cause decompression illness (DCI). “Tar...
