A novice scuba diver suffered a cerebral arterial gas embolism during open water certification training while practicing a free ascent, resulting in transient neurological symptoms and pulmonary barotrauma, but was successfully treated with high flow normobaric oxygen instead of recompression due to the risk of tension pneumothorax.

This study found that specific volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath were significantly changed after heliox diving to 81 meters, suggesting pulmonary oxygen toxicity development even without clinical symptoms.

This study found that there is substantial variability in venous gas emboli (VGE) grades within individual divers after repeated dives on the same profile, suggesting significant within-diver variability in susceptibility to decompression sickness (DCS), and therefore, post-dive VGE grades are not useful for evaluating decompression practice for individual divers.

The EMMA capnograph provides accurate and clinically acceptable estimates of end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in hyperbaric environments, comparable to sidestream capnography and arterial blood gas analysis.

Gas narcosis at 30 meters depth can impair decision-making in scuba divers, indicating that the effects of narcosis may be present at relatively shallow depths and affect higher cognitive functions.
