 note = {Twelve cases of decompression illness during the past two years were studied. Among
these, one death was encountered. Half of the twelve cases were Type I (Bends), characterized by localized pain around the joints. The other half were the more severe Type II, which includes spinal cord injuries, pulmonary disturbances (Chokes), cerebral disturbances, arterial
gas embolism, and vestibular staggerings. Two of the severest cases, one of which was fatal, were reported with the common risk factor of obesity. The fatal case, in which the patient died shortly after recompression therapy, was related to reperfusion injury. Diving after a long interval of diving inactivity was also found to be a probable risk factor of decompression illness.},
