title: Trapped gas dysbarism requiring recompression therapy.
abstract: The clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, and treatment of dysbarism continues to pose a dilemma for physiologists and flight surgeons. This paper presents a case of trapped gas dysbarism resulting from exposure to 40,000 ft, which was severe, disabling, and required recompression therapy to resolve.
