| Abstract |
A 27-year-old man inhaled helium from an unregulated pressurized cylinder and underwent cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE), leaving him blind and with radiologic evidence initially suggesting cortical infarction. There was complete recovery of vision and substantial regression of the radiologic changes after 4 hyperbaric oxygen treatments and a 54-hour lidocaine infusion, which began 6 hours after the accident. This is the second reported case of CAGE occurring by this mechanism and the first case of unequivocal CAGE in which lidocaine has been used as an adjunctive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 March 2024.
All research outputs
#4,719,422
of 25,651,057 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Emergency Medicine
#2,405
of 6,854 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,994
of 41,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Emergency Medicine
#6
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,651,057 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,854 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 41,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
