    Abstract Increased hydrostatic pressure as experienced during immersion and submersion has effects on the circulation. The main effect is counteracting of gravity by buoyancy, which results in reduced extravasation of fluid. Immersion in a cold liquid leads to peripheral vasoconstriction, which centralizes the circulation. Additionally, a pressure difference usually exists between the lungs and the rest of the body, promoting pulmonary edema. However, hydrostatic pressure does not exert an external compressing force that counteracts extravasation, since the increased pressure is transmitted equally throughout all tissues immersed at the same level. Moreover, the vertical gradient of hydrostatic pressure down an immersed body part does not act as a resistance to blood flow. The occurrence of cardiovascular collapse when an immersed person is rescued from the water is not explained by removal of hydrostatic squeeze, but by sudden reinstitution of the effect of gravity in a cold and vasoplegic subject.

    Abstract Purpose: Traumatic crush injuries of the lower limb often accompany severe complications. The incorporation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to standard trauma care may have the potential to diminish injury-related complications and improve outcome in such cases. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of severe lower limb soft tissue injuries.
    Methods: The electronic databases Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies involving patients with crush-associated sever lower limb soft tissue injuries who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy in conjunction with standard trauma care. Relevant data on type of injury, hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol and outcome related to wound healing were extracted.
    Results: In total seven studies met the inclusion criteria, involving 229 patients. The studies included two randomized clinical trials, one retrospective cohort study, three case series and one case report. The randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial showed a significant increase in wound healing and decrease in the need for additional surgical interventions in the patient group receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy when compared to those undergoing sham therapy. The randomized non-placebo-controlled clinical trial revealed that early hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces tissue necrosis and the likelihood of long-term complications. The retrospective cohort study indicated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy effectively reduces infection rates and the need for additional surgical interventions. The case series and case report presented beneficial results with regard to wound healing when hyperbaric oxygen therapy was added to the treatment regimen.
    Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally considered a safe therapeutic intervention and seems to have a beneficial effect on wound healing in severe lower limb soft tissue injuries when implemented as an addition to standard trauma care.

    Abstract Background: Iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) caused by invasive medical procedures may be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Previous studies suggested that initiation of HBOT within 6-8 h is associated with higher probability of favorable outcome, when compared to time-to-HBOT beyond 8 h. We performed a group level and individual patient level meta-analysis of observational studies, to evaluate the relationship between time-to-HBOT and outcome after iatrogenic CAGE.
    Methods: We systematically searched for studies reporting on time-to-HBOT and outcome in patients with iatrogenic CAGE. On group level, we meta-analyzed the differences between median time-to-HBOT in patients with favorable versus unfavorable outcome. On individual patient level, we analyzed the relationship between time-to-HBOT and probability of favorable outcome in a generalized linear mixed effects model.
    Results: Group level meta-analysis (ten studies, 263 patients) shows that patients with favorable outcome were treated with HBOT 2.4 h (95% CI 0.6-9.7) earlier than patients with unfavorable outcome. The generalized linear mixed effects model (eight studies, 126 patients) shows a significant relationship between time-to-HBOT and probability of favorable outcome (p = 0.013) that remains significant after correcting for severity of manifestations (p = 0.041). Probability of favorable outcome decreases from approximately 65% when HBOT is started immediately, to 30% when HBOT is delayed for 15 h.
    Conclusions: Increased time-to-HBOT is associated with decreased probability of favorable outcome in iatrogenic CAGE. This suggests that early initiation of HBOT in iatrogenic CAGE is of vital importance.

    Abstract Objectives: Iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism occurs when gas enters the cerebral arterial circulation during a medical procedure and is considered a severe complication. Seizures have been described in these patients, but information on clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome is lacking in current literature. The aim of the study was to explore seizures in patients with iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism and to evaluate management strategies.
    Design: Retrospective single-center observational study.
    Setting: The only university hospital in the Netherlands with a hyperbaric oxygen therapy facility.
    Patients: All patients presenting at or referred to our center with iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism between May 2016 and December 2020.
    Interventions: Not applicable.
    Measurements and main results: Fifteen patients with iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism were identified, of whom 11 (73%) developed seizures. Five patients developed their first seizure prior to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, three during hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and three after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Of the 11 patients with seizures, all but one were treated with anti-epileptic drugs. With a median follow-up time of 5 months (range, 1-54 mo), five patients showed complete neurologic recovery, five had minor neurologic deficit, two had moderate to severe neurologic deficit, and three had died. Four patients still used anti-epileptic drugs at follow-up. No patients had recurrent seizures after hospital discharge.
    Conclusions: `Seizures are a common symptom in iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism. They are often treated with anti-epileptic drugs and do not seem to lead to chronic epilepsy.

    Abstract Purpose: Cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) occurs when air or medical gas enters the systemic circulation during invasive procedures and lodges in the cerebral vasculature. Non-contrast computer tomography (CT) may not always show intracerebral gas. CT perfusion (CTP) might be a useful adjunct for diagnosing CAGE in these patients.
    Methods: This is a retrospective single-center cohort study. We included patients who were diagnosed with iatrogenic CAGE and underwent CTP within 24 h after onset of symptoms between January 2016 and October 2022. All imaging studies were evaluated by two independent radiologists. CTP studies were scored semi-quantitatively for perfusion abnormalities (normal, minimal, moderate, severe) in the following parameters: cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, time-to-drain and time-to-maximum.
    Results: Among 27 patient admitted with iatrogenic CAGE, 15 patients underwent CTP within the designated timeframe and were included for imaging analysis. CTP showed perfusion deficits in all patients except one. The affected areas on CTP scans were in general located bilaterally and frontoparietally. The typical pattern of CTP abnormalities in these areas was hypoperfusion with an increased time-to-drain and time-to-maximum, and a corresponding minimal decrease in cerebral blood flow. Cerebral blood volume was mostly unaffected.
    Conclusion: CTP may show specific perfusion defects in patients with a clinical diagnosis of CAGE. This suggests that CTP may be supportive in diagnosing CAGE in cases where no intracerebral gas is seen on non-contrast CT.

    Abstract Survival of airplane stowaways is rare. Here we report an exceptional case of successful treatment and full recovery. After a transcontinental flight an unconscious stowaway was discovered in a wheel well of a Boeing 747-400F. Airport paramedics confirmed regular respiration and achieved 100% oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) by high-flow oxygen. Rectal body temperature was 35.5 °C. On arrival at the emergency department, the patient's vital signs were stable. He did not respond to verbal stimuli. He localized to painful stimuli with both arms, however, there was no reaction to stimuli to both legs. We suspected his neurological deficits were caused by posthypoxic encephalopathy or altitude decompression sickness (DCS), the latter amenable to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT was performed for 5 h (US Navy Treatment Table 6) and afterwards, full neurological recovery was documented. About 24 h after admission a new proximal paresis of the left leg was noted. Assuming recurrence of DCS, daily HBOT was scheduled for three days, after which motor function had again returned to normal. Stowaways travelling in airplane wheel wells experience extreme environmental circumstances. The presented patient survived an eight-hour exposure to calculated barometric pressures as low as 190 mmHg and ambient PO
