Decompression sickness (DCS) develops due to inert gas bubble formation in the circulation, leading to a wide range of potentially serious clinical manifestations. Its pathophysiology remains incomple
Doppler ultrasound (DU) measurements are used to detect and evaluate venous gas emboli (VGE) formed after decompression. Automated analysis methodologies of these VGE have been developed on varying re
* this step was used only for saturation decompression with compressed air (PiO2 = 0.588 ata), for other breathing mixtures, when PiO2 = 0.5 ata, rate of saturation decompression in this step was alre
