No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Research hypothesis

* There is a correlation between the quantity of fluid markers of CNS injury in blood and DCS.
* There is a correlation between quantity and kind of fluid markers of CNS injury in blood and both diving profile and severity of DCS.
* There is a correlation between the quantity of inflammatory markers in blood an DCS.

Objectives:

* Assess whether individuals suffering decompression sickness exhibit fluid markers of central nervous system injury.
* Evaluate the correlation between quantity and kind of fluid marker of CNS injury and clinical signs of neurological impairment.
* Evaluate the correlation between quantity and kind of fluid marker of CNS injury and clinical outcome after 3-6 months.
* Assess whether individuals suffering decompression sickness exhibit inflammatory markers in blood.
