On the Tech page, of Divernet, it has been suggested that following a hit on a moderate dive a diver would be well advised to get a PFO chewck. The diver concerned had buddies onthe same dive who did not get a hit, whilst I understand this is perfectly possible, as we are all individuals with different physical attributes etc I do not see the reason to rush off to hospital for a PFO check if this was a first hit. The hit was diagnosed as minor type 1.
Are there statistics available to show that DCI causes death even if treated quickly?
