| Popis: | Aim The human model of pulmonary embolism is currently unavailable.The objective of this study was to evaluate whether venousinert gas lung embolization after diving simulation is a modelof pulmonary embolism.Methods Twelve recreational divers underwent two single aircompressions, each in different post-compression posture, in thechamber to 30 m/40 min bottom time with standard decompressionand ascent rates. Cardiopulmonary variables and precordialbubble grade were measured in sitting or lying supine before and40, 70 and 100 min after the respective compression.Results The volume of airways decreased post-compression in supine(24%, p |
