AbstractPhysicians should consider barotrauma and decompression illness (DCI) in any patient presenting after a recent scuba dive, even apparently shallow dives. If and when DCI is suspected, clinicians should act without delay to transfer the patient to a recompression facility, even if diagnostic certainty has not been attained. We present a case of hyperbaric injury in an asthmatic woman who had an atypical presentation in view of the depth of dive.© 2015 Royal College of Physicians.
