Decompression has several meanings, some of which are covered by several articles: Data decompression, the action of reversing data compression Decompression...

or fail to pressurize at all. Such decompression may be classed as explosive, rapid, or slow: Explosive decompression (ED) is violent and too fast for air...

To prevent or minimize decompression sickness, divers must properly plan and monitor decompression. Divers follow a decompression model to safely allow...

Hypobaric decompression is the reduction in ambient pressure below the normal range of sea level atmospheric pressure. Altitude decompression is hypobaric...

ambient pressures. Decompression obligation for a given dive profile must be calculated and monitored to ensure that the risk of decompression sickness is controlled...

A dive computer, personal decompression computer or decompression meter is a device used by an underwater diver to measure the elapsed time and depth...

continuous no-stop ascent. Decompression may be continuous or staged. A staged decompression ascent is interrupted by decompression stops at calculated depth...

of long decompressions underwater, in cold or dangerous conditions. A decompression chamber may be used with a closed bell for decompression after bounce...

Decompression Illness (DCI) comprises two different conditions caused by rapid decompression of the body. These conditions present similar symptoms and...

conservative decompression schedule the risk of decompression sickness is significantly reduced, and the total time spent decompressing is minimised....

saturation decompression. Application of a bubble model in 1985 allowed successful modelling of conventional decompressions, altitude decompression, no-stop...

examples include decompressive craniectomy (removal of part of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain), a spinal decompression to relieve pressure...

Ratio decompression (usually referred to in abbreviated form as ratio deco) is a technique for calculating decompression schedules for scuba divers engaged...

Spinal decompression is the relief of pressure on the spinal cord or on one or more compressed nerve roots passing through or exiting the spinal column...

volume involved already exists prior to decompression. Barotrauma can occur during both compression and decompression events. Barotrauma generally manifests...

effectiveness requires real-time computer processing by the diver's decompression computer. Decompression can be much reduced compared to fixed ratio gas mixes used...

Most of the time surgery is eventually required and may include core decompression, osteotomy, bone grafts, or joint replacement. About 15,000 cases occur...

Decompressive craniectomy (crani- + -ectomy) is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling or herniating brain...

Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient...

Microvascular decompression (MVD), also known as the Jannetta procedure, is a neurosurgical procedure used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (along with other...

to do surface decompression on oxygen (SurDO2)in the chamber. The relative safety of surface decompression and in-water decompression is uncertain. Both...

The thermodynamic model was one of the first decompression models in which decompression is controlled by the volume of gas bubbles coming out of solution...
