Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is a recognized but uncommon manifestation of type 2 decompression sickness. It typically occurs within 6 hours of a dive. Because the adult respiratory distress syndrome in this setting is believed to be due to microbubbles in the pulmonary vasculature, recompression in a hyperbaric chamber has been recommended as a form of therapy. A patient developed noncardiogenic pulmonary edema following a seawater dive to 75 feet. There was complete radiologic and clinical resolution within 5 hours of hyperbaric therapy.
