Numerous civilian and military personnel are involved in SCUBA diving activities. In this day of rapid air travel it is important that all physicians, not just those living near the coast or dive centers, be familiar with the basics of diagnosing and treating diving-related injuries. One of the more serious complications of dysbarism is Arterial Gas Embolism (AGE). This case history involves an atypical presentation of delayed onset AGE in a military diver trainee, and its treatment. This article then reviews the incidence, etiology, pathophysiology, "classic" presentation and current treatment of this disease. Systemic pathophysiology secondary to the effects of intravascular air of AGE is also discussed.
众多平民和军事人员都参与水肺潜水活动。在当今航空旅行迅速发展的时代，所有医生，而不仅仅是那些住在海岸附近或潜水中心附近的医生，熟悉诊断和治疗与潜水相关损伤的基础知识很重要。气压伤的一种较为严重的并发症是动脉气体栓塞（AGE）。本病例史涉及一名军事潜水学员延迟发作性AGE的非典型表现及其治疗。然后本文回顾了该疾病的发病率、病因、病理生理学、“典型”表现和当前治疗方法。还讨论了AGE血管内空气影响继发的全身病理生理学。
