chamber decompression

Chamber decompression is a medical procedure used to treat decompression sickness, often experienced by divers ascending too quickly. It involves placing the affected individual in a hyperbaric chamber, which is a sealed environment where air pressure is increased. This controlled setting allows nitrogen bubbles, formed in the body due to rapid pressure changes, to dissolve more safely back into the bloodstream. After a specific duration, the pressure is gradually decreased, helping the body readjust and safely eliminate excess nitrogen. This method promotes healing and alleviates pain associated with decompression sickness.
