| Popis: | Historically, decompression sickness (DCS) has been considered a binomial event. Throughout the development of decompression tables and mathematical models that predict DCS risk, investigators who have followed a data-based approach employed DCS as a "yes" or "no" event. Although DCS manifestations have been documented for decades, there has been no quantified effort to examine the relationship between the dive profile and the signs and symptoms of the disease itself. We have compiled the descriptions of DCS cases that occurred after prospective air or nitrogen-oxygen research dives conducted by the military. The detailed dive profiles associated with each case are also described. This comprehensive collection of more than 8000 exposures and more than 400 DCS cases will allow analysis of the relationship between the dive profile and manifestations of DCS. |
