ABSTRACT
Twenty years of treatment records were searched for cases of serious decompression sickness (DCS). Spinal cord DCS was the most common presentation. The efficacy of various treatment tables were compared. Oxygen tables were found to be as effective as long air tables in treating cases presenting within 12 h of the onset of symptoms and were superior for cases presenting later. Using RN 61 (USN 5) to treat serious decompression sickness resulted in a high post-treatment relapse rate. Other inappropriate practices such as in-water air treatment and nontreatment of spontaneously recovering cases resulted in a high incidence of deterioration or relapse.
