Dr. J. L. D. B. Decompression (J. L. D. B. is often associated with the study of decompression illness)

Dr. J. L. D. B. Decompression refers to the scientific study of how gases, particularly nitrogen, behave in the body during rapid ascent from deep dives. When divers ascend too quickly, dissolved gases can form bubbles in tissues and blood, leading to decompression sickness (commonly known as "the bends"). Dr. Decompression’s work helps understand these processes, develop safe diving protocols, and prevent illness by managing ascent rates and decompression stops. His research is fundamental in diving medicine, ensuring divers’ safety by minimizing bubble formation through scientific insights into pressure and gas dynamics in the body.
