TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Can pulmonary barotrauma cause cerebral air embolism in a non-diver? JO - Chest A1 - Bayne, C. G. A1 - Wurzbacher, T. SP - 648 EP - 650 VL - 81 IS - 5 N2 - It is generally assumed that only the diver exiting a compressed air environment is at risk for the complications of systemic air embolism following pulmonary barotrauma. We present a case of sudden death following a swimming pool dive, with evidence supporting a diagnosis of fatal systemic air embolism.
