Abstract: In both the aviation and space environments, decompression sickness (DCS) is an operational limitation. Hyperbaric recompression is the most efficacious treatment for altitude DCS. However, the inherent recompression of ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 1994 Added to NTRS: 2008-06-02 Accession Number: 94N33643; Document ID: 19940029137 Exercise with prebreathe appears to increase protection from decompression sickness: Preliminary findings Author(s): Webb, James T.; Fischer, Michele D.; Heaps, Cristine L.; Pilmanis, Andrew A. Abstract: Extravehicular activity (EVA) from the Space Shuttle involves one hour of prebreath with 100% oxygen, decompression of the entire Shuttle to 10.2 psia for at least 12 hours, and another prebreath for 40 minutes before ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 1994 Added to NTRS: 2008-06-02 Accession Number: 94N33639; Document ID: 19940029133 Pulmonary decompression sickness at altitude: early symptoms and circulating gas emboli Author(s): Balldin, Ulf I.; Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Webb, James T. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary altitude decompression sickness (DCS) is a rare condition. 'Chokes' which are characterized by the triad of substernal pain, cough, and dyspnea, are considered to be associated with severe ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 2002 Added to NTRS: 2006-08-02 Document ID: 20040088016 Gender not a factor for altitude decompression sickness risk Author(s): Webb, James T.; Kannan, Nandini; Pilmanis, Andrew A. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Early, retrospective reports of the incidence of altitude decompression sickness (DCS) during altitude chamber training exposures indicated that women were more susceptible than men. We hypothesized that a ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 2003 Added to NTRS: 2006-08-02 Document ID: 20040087881 Enhancement of preoxygenation for decompression sickness protection: effect of exercise duration Author(s): Webb, James T.; Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Fischer, Michele D.; Kannan, Nandini Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Since strenuous exercise for 10 min during preoxygenation was shown to provide better protection from decompression sickness (DCS) incidence than resting preoxygenation, a logical question was: would a longer ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 2002 Added to NTRS: 2006-08-02 Document ID: 20040087921 The effect of repeated altitude exposures on the incidence of decompression sickness Author(s): Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Webb, James T.; Kannan, Nandini; Balldin, Ulf Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Repeated altitude exposures in a single day occur during special operations parachute training, hypobaric chamber training, unpressurized flight, and extravehicular space activity. Inconsistent and ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 2002 Added to NTRS: 2006-08-02 Document ID: 20040088278 The effect of simulated weightlessness on hypobaric decompression sickness Author(s): Balldin, Ulf I.; Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Webb, James T. Abstract: BACKGROUND: A discrepancy exists between the incidence of ground-based decompression sickness (DCS) during simulated extravehicular activity (EVA) at hypobaric space suit pressure (20-40) and crewmember reports during actual ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 2002 Added to NTRS: 2006-08-02 Document ID: 20040088175 Case Descriptions and Observations About Cutis Marmorata From Hypobaric Decompressions Author(s): Conkin, Johnny; Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Webb, James T. Abstract: There is disagreement about the pathophysiology, classification, and treatment of cutis marmorata (CM), so there is disagreement about the disposition and medical status of a person that had CM. CM is rare, associated with ... NASA Center: Johnson Space Center Publication Year: 2002 Added to NTRS: 2005-08-25 Document ID: 20020043077; Report Number: NAS 1.60:210779, NASA/TP-2002-210779, S-889 The 1990 Hypobaric Decompression Sickness Workshop: Summary and conclusions Author(s): Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Stegmann, Barbara J.; Scoggins, Terrell E. Abstract: Decompression sickness resulting from exposure to the hypobaric environment was reviewed and discussed at a three day workshop in Oct. 1990. This milestone meeting, attended by over 50 participants representing the Dept. of ... NASA Center: NASA (non Center Specific) Publication Year: 1992 Added to NTRS: 2004-11-03 Accession Number: 92N22352; Document ID: 19920013109 Evaluation of medical treatments to increase survival of ebullism in guinea pigs Author(s): Stegmann, Barbara J.; Pilmanis, Andrew A.; Wolf, E. G.; Derion, Toniann; Fanton, J. W.; Davis, H.; Kemper, G. B.; Scoggins, Terrell E. Abstract: Spaceflight carriers run a constant risk of exposure to vacuum. Above 63,000 ft (47 mmHg), the ambient pressure falls below the vapor pressure of water at 37 C, and tissue vaporization (ebullism) begins. Little is know about ...
