Hyperbaric chamber nurse dies of decompression sickness; unit gets OK.

.   

Abstract

Experts in the field of hyperbaric medicine say the chambers used to treat dive accident victims and enhance the healing of problem wounds are safe despite the death last August of a nurse. Joyce Vause, 52, died of decompression sickness July 22, 1991 about an hour after she left work at Bay Medical Center, Panama City, FL. Shortly before her death, Vause has been in a hyperbaric chamber attending a patient who had been in a diving accident.
