Decompression Illness
Decompression Illness (DCI) comprises two different conditions caused by rapid decompression of the body. These conditions present similar symptoms and require the same initial first aid. Scuba divers are trained to ascend slowly from depth to avoid DCI. Although the incidence is relatively rare, the consequences can be serious and potentially fatal, especially if untreated. Classification DCI can be caused by two different mechanisms, which result in overlapping sets of symptoms. The two mechanisms are: * Decompression sickness (DCS), which results from metabolically inert gas dissolved in body tissue under pressure emerging out of solution and forming bubbles during decompression. It typically afflicts underwater divers on poorly managed ascent from depth or aviators flying in inadequately pressurised aircraft. * Arterial gas embolism (AGE), which is perfusion blockage caused by gas bubbles in the arterial bloodstream. In the context of DCI these may form either as a result of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
