Experimental Studies in Decompression Sickness.
Abstract
Studies were focused on the role of lipids in decompression sickness. Experimental evidence and clinical data supports the concept that alterations in lipids promote, and possibly encourage, the development of decompression sickness. Pilot studies evaluating the sub-human primate prior to, and following, sub-lethal decompression sickness were conducted. Heparin, a lipid clearing agent, has successfully treated the afflicted animal following decompression.
