(Askeri) BASINÇ AZALMA HASTALIĞI: Düşük çevre basıncına maruz kalma sonucu, dokularda, vücut sıvılarında ve kan damarlarında gaz kabarcıklarının sebep olduğu kırıklık, şok, sinir bozukluğu ve dermansızlık alameti
(Tıp) Dekompresyon hastalığı vurgun, yüzeye çıkan dalgıçlarda ve çok fazla yükselen havacılarda olduğu gibi atmosfer basıncının aniden düşmesine bağlı olarak meydana gelir
decompression sickness teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı
A sometimes fatal condition resulting from the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the blood and tissues, because of too rapid decompression, seen especially in deep-sea divers ascending rapidly from a dive. It is characterized by severe pains in the joints and chest, skin irritation, cramps, nausea, and paralysis
A disorder, seen especially in deep-sea divers, caused by the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the blood and tissues following a sudden drop in the surrounding pressure, as when ascending rapidly from a dive, and characterized by severe pains in the joints and chest, skin irritation, cramps, and paralysis. a dangerous medical condition that people get when they come up from deep under the sea too quickly = the bends. also called the bends or caisson disease Harmful effects of rapid change from a higher-to a lower-pressure environment. Small amounts of the gases in air are dissolved in body tissues. When pilots of unpressurized aircraft go to high altitudes or when divers breathing compressed air return to the surface, external pressure on the body decreases and the gases come out of solution. Rising slowly allows the gases to enter the bloodstream and be taken to the lungs and exhaled; with a quicker ascent, the gases (mostly nitrogen) form bubbles in the tissues. In the nervous system, they can cause paralysis, convulsions, motor and sensory problems, and psychological changes; in the joints, severe pain and restricted mobility (the bends); in the respiratory system, coughing and difficulty breathing. Severe cases include shock. Recompression in a hyperbaric chamber followed by gradual decompression cannot always reverse tissue damage
