This descriptive, nonrandomized, multicenter-based study compares the treatment outcomes of two major categories of recompression treatment tables for recreational sport SCUBA divers suffering from decompression sickness and/or arterial gas embolism. Stratified and logistic regression analyses were used to compare the enhanced tables, which use pressures of 165 fsw (feet of salt water) or 60 fsw with extended recompression time, to the regular tables, which use pressures of 60 fsw or less without extended recompression time. A total of 113 cases were treated with enhanced tables, 54 being successes. A total of 214 cases were treated with regular tables, 135 being successes. The final logistic statistical model after adjusting for confounding factors found a significant improvement in successful treatment outcomes for divers treated with tables that use pressures of 60 fsw or less without extended recompression time (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.28-0.78).
