Summary

What Researchers Did

This study describes the case of a 46-year-old man with cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) who was treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

What They Found

A 46-year-old man developed cerebral arterial gas embolism after a controlled ascent from 33m of seawater, presenting with altered sensorium and unconsciousness. After receiving targeted temperature management and consecutive hyperbaric oxygen therapies, he fully recovered from his neurological deficits.
