Recompression Treatment Tables

Recompression Treatment Tables are guides used in hyperbaric medicine to treat decompression sickness (often called "the bends"), which can occur in divers after descending to great depths. These tables outline specific steps for gradually reducing pressure around a patient and administering oxygen under increased pressure. This controlled process helps remove nitrogen bubbles formed in the body due to rapid ascent. By following these tables, medical professionals ensure that patients receive the proper treatment, which enhances recovery and minimizes the risk of complications from decompression sickness.
