Pulmonary barotrauma may occur in diving and can result in a spectrum of injuries referred to as pulmonary over-inflation syndrome (POIS). Pneumomediastinum is a part of the POIS spectrum and only rarely results in respiratory symptoms. We present a case of a civilian diver who developed pneumomediastinum with respiratory symptoms which did not respond to normobaric 100% oxygen. After investigation for pneumothorax, he underwent hyperbaric oxygen treatment which resulted in significant alleviation of his symptoms. This is a novel case example of this treatment algorithm.
肺气压伤可能发生在潜水时,可导致一系列被称为过度充气综合征(POIS)的损伤。纵隔气肿是 POIS 谱的一部分,很少导致呼吸症状。我们报告了一例平民潜水员发生纵隔气肿伴呼吸症状的病例,该症状对常压 100%氧气治疗无反应。在排除气胸后,他接受了高压氧治疗,症状明显缓解。这是该治疗方案的一个新的病例实例。
