Hyperbaric oxygen for decompression sickness: 2021 update
, 2021Hyperbaric oxygen for decompression sickness: 2021 update Decompression sickness (DCS, “bends”) is caused by the formation of bubbles in tissues and/or blood when the sum of dissolved gas pressures exceeds ambient pressure (supersaturation).

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.

Protective effects of pulmonary surfactant on decompression sickness in rats.
Journal of applied physiology, 2020Decompression sickness (DCS) is a systemic pathophysiological process featured by bubble load . Lung dysfunction plays a harmful effect on off-gassing, which contributes to bubble load and subsequent DCS occurrence.

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 ...

Hyperbaric treatment for decompression sickness: current recommendations.
Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine, 2019Decompression sickness (DCS, "bends") is caused by formation of bubbles in tissues and/or blood when the sum of dissolved gas pressures exceeds ambient pressure (supersaturation).

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
