What is decompression sickness?
- Decompression sickness (DCS) occurs when dissolved gases (usually nitrogen or helium, used in mixed gas diving) exit solution and form bubbles inside the body on depressurization.
- It is also called bends or caisson disease.
- DCS occurs from underwater diving decompression (ascent), working in a caisson, flying in an unpressurized aircraft, and extra-vehicular activity from spacecraft.
