Decompresssion Sickness Studies.
Abstract
Conditioned male mongrel dogs were splenectomized and used to model paralytic decompression sickness. Physiologic monitoring, hemalotogic studies, blood volume studies, cinevenography and pathologic analysis have combined to indicate a major role of venous obstruction at the level of the epidural vertebral venous system in the pathogenesis of spinal cord damage in decompression sickness.
