Fundamental Biophysical Aspects of Decompression Sickness.

Abstract

The work described in this report is directed at determining the physiological and physical factors which underly the formulation of safe decompression procedures. Some aspects are continuations of studies initiated by the principal investigator at Duke University under contract N00014-67-A-0251-0015. Almost all of the work has been published or is currently in press and a full list of publications arising from these contracts is appended to this report. This report summarizes the results and then goes on to describe the way in which the principal investigator now envisages decompression sickness and its prevention in the light of these and other published studies.
