abstract="A man was accidentally decompressed to an altitude greater than 22,555 m (74,000 ft) in an industrial vacuum chamber. He experienced burst lung, massive decompression sickness, and sustained ebulism. He remained at altitude for a period of 3-5 min. By 5.5 h following the accident, he was still profoundly unconscious. He was subsequently treated in a hyperbaric chamber with recompression on a modified U.S. Navy Table 6A and had eventual clinical recovery. The CPK peaked at 8000 units 2 d after the accident, demonstrating substantial barotrauma to the tissues.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
