| Description |
A 22-year-old recreational diver was performing an open-ocean dive and lost consciousness while ascending. Emergency measures were performed and the diver regained consciousness; within about 30 seconds, he began coughing pink, frothy sputum. The diver was taken to the ED. Auscultation of the left lower lung field revealed diminished breath sounds, and a CT scan of his chest was obtained. What was the cause of the loss of consciousness during the diver’s ascent? eMedicine Case Presentations |
