When commercial sea harvesters have dive accidents, it is sometimes difficult to obtain an accurate dive history and make a definitive diagnosis. We report a sea harvest diver who dived to collect sea snails (Rapana venosa) by using a hookah dive system. He experienced mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema due to interruption of breathing airflow. Thoracic computed tomography performed one year prior to the accident revealed paramediastinal subpleural blebs on both lung apices. Emphysema was resolved by administering normobaric oxygen.
商业性海洋捕捞潜水员发生潜水事故时，有时难以准确获取潜水史并做出明确诊断。我们报告了 1 例使用水肺潜水系统采集海螺（Rapana venosa）的海洋捕捞潜水员，因呼吸气流中断而发生纵隔和皮下气肿。该患者在事故发生前 1 年进行的胸部计算机断层扫描显示双侧肺尖部纵隔旁次胸膜下大疱。给予常压氧后，气肿得到缓解。
