Case Report: Successful treatment of severe type II decompression sickness characterized by multiple gas emboli

This report highlights the unpredictability of DCS; even when decompression tables are followed, severe Type II DCS may occur if the diver's underwater workload is excessive and multiple risk factors are present. Prompt recompression therapy is crucial to prevent clinical deterioration. Due to the limitations of current DCS models, further research is needed to develop individualized safe decompression protocols based on physiological variables.
