DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
The formation of bubbles of inert gas within the body of a diver. Fortunately, this is rare among recreational divers.
General term for all problems resulting from nitrogen leaving the body when ambient pressure is lowered. Can be divided into Type I (musculoskeletal and/or skin manifestations only) or the more serious Type II (neurologis, cardiac and/or pulmonary manifestations).
