CASECASEA sailer dived in the sea upto about 100 feet depth. When he came back to the surface of sea, he was exhausted, complained of severe pain and swelling of joints [esp knee and ankle joints] and hardly could move those. Some skin rashes were visible with severe itch. He was a bit drowsy and disoriented.

1670 : Boyles described “Decompression”
1830 : Cochrane used compressed air in tunnels and Caissons
1937 : Behnk – discovered “N2 Narcosis”

PRESSURE OUTSIDE BODYPRESSURE OUTSIDE BODY
Gaseous pressure both inside and outside the body, showing at left saturation of the body to high gas pressures when breathing air at a
total pressure of 5000 mm Hg, and at right the great excess of intrabody pressure that is responsible for bubble formation in the
tissues when the body is returned to the normal pressure of 760 mm Hg.

Skin lesions of decompression sickness. This diver, who had had an upper
limb amputation, developed
‘bends’ pain in the phantom
limb, and skin bends over the
body. Both responded rapidly to recompression
therapy. (Photograph by courtesy of Dr
Ramsey Pearson)

Decompression sickness: skin lesions of isobaric counterdiffusion. The subject breathed a neon/oxygen mixture
at 1200 feet (360 metres), while exposed to a chamber of helium/oxygen. Gross itching accompanied the intradermal
bubbles. (Photograph by courtesy of Professor C. J. Lambertsen)

TREATMENT OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
INVOLVES IMMEDIATE RECOMPRESSION,
FOLLOWED BY GRADUAL DECOMPRESSION
![Page 35: MEDICINE AND PHYSIOLOGY IN UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENT](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815b66550346895dc95741/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
LOCALIZED PAIN IN OR AROUND A JOINT MAY
SOMETIMES BE RELIEVED BY APPLICATION OF LOCAL
PRESSURE, e.g FROM AN INFLATED
SPHYGMOMANOMETER CUFF

•The value of 100% oxygen, before during and after recompression– Intravascular bubbles do not
develop with oxygen breathing, [especially at 2 ATA]
– Denitrogenation is maximized, reducing tissue bubbles
– It reverses the development and the redevelopment of DCS
