Weather's getting nicer, which makes it the perfect time for underwater adventures and the mayhem they may bring! The prehospital approach to decompression sickness mainly takes the form of recognizing the signs and symptoms and transporting to the closest hyperbaric center as appropriate (see the previously discussed list of specialty centers for reference). Don’t forget that companion divers should be transported in addition to the primary patient!
Anyone else a fan of these short emails? Plenty of info, without going…too deep? Hah!
www.nycremsco.org and the protocol binder, don’t forget!
