On the likelihood of decompression sickness [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1984 The occurrence of decompression sickness in animals and humans is characterized by the extreme variability of individual response. Nevertheless, models and analyses of decompression results have generally used a critical value approach to separate safe and unsafe decompression procedures.

Decompression and Decompression Sickness
Comprehensive Physiology, 2014AbstractThe ever‐present desire of humankind to explore new limits introduced us to the syndrome of decompression sickness (DCS). This broad overview of DCS is aimed at its pathophysiology and basics of therapeutic strategies. After a brief explanation of decompression theory, historical vignettes will serve to inform the practical application of our ...

Decompression sickness in SCUBA divers
Nursing, 2022Abstract: There are approximately 2.8 million active self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) divers in the US who are at risk for decompression sickness. This article discusses the pathophysiology, common signs and symptoms, and treatments of this multisystem complication of SCUBA diving.

The Lancet, 1974
Abstract The long-standing concept of the bubble acting solely as a mechanical cause of decompression sickness, by tissue distortion or as an embolus, has lately been challenged, and recognition of surface activity at the blood/gas interface of the intravascular bubble has initiated a reconsideration of possible disease processes.

Decompression Sickness: An Update
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1986In brief: Until 20 years ago, the physical phenomenon of bubbling was the primary consideration in decompression sickness (DCS). Now the physiological aspects of DCS and the physiochemical states that lead to bubbling are better understood. This paper discusses four important developments in the study of DCS: (1) the recognition of the importance of ...

Decompression sickness: A Medical emergency
Resuscitation, 1981Abstract Our clinical experience on the use of decompression chamber and intensive care in the treatment of decompression sickness in 64 patients is reported. The results obtained in this study allow the formulation of some considerations regarding the evaluation of type of patients; the effect of delay upon prognosis; the use of particular schedules

Decompression sickness in Ireland-a review
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1993In the last decade there has been an increase in the incidence of decompression sickness in Ireland. The modern diver, equipped with specially developed diving equipment, is exposed to abnormal physiological conditions. This has resulted in a spectrum of medical conditions, which need to be recognised, diagnosed and treated.

Acclimation to decompression sickness in rats
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2010Protection against decompression sickness (DCS) by acclimation to hyperbaric decompression has been hypothesized but never proven. We exposed rats to acclimation dives followed by a stressful “test” dive to determine whether acclimation occurred. Experiments were divided into two phases.
