Perfluorocarbons for the treatment of decompression illness: how to bridge the gap between theory and practice. [PDF]
Decompression illness (DCI) is a complex clinical syndrome caused by supersaturation of respiratory gases in blood and tissues after abrupt reduction in ambient pressure.

Decompression illness (DCI) in Finland 1999-2018: Special emphasis on technical diving. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION This is the first published study on decompression illness (DCI) and its treatment in Finland. Diving conditions are demanding, as even in the summer the water temperature below 20 meters' sea/fresh water (msw/mfw) is 4-10°C.

Management of decompression illness
Decompression illness (DCI) occurs due to absorbed extracorporal gas resulting from a decrease in environmental pressure during decompression. This term includes both arterial gas embolism (AGE), where alveolar or venous gas emboli enter the arterial ...

Tetranomial decompression sickness model using serious, mild, marginal, and non-event outcomes
Decompression sickness (DCS) is a condition resulting from reductions in ambient pressure, causing inert gas bubbles in tissues. This work focuses on hyperbaric exposures, specifically DCS resulting from underwater diving.
