Abstract

Although the diving community attempts to train and educate its members with regard to the dangers of the deep, there are still a significant number of individuals each year who need treatment for painful and life-threatening illness incurred as a result of the dive. The emergency physician needs to identify these individuals quickly, stabilize them, and refer and transport as soon as possible to a recompression chamber.
