What is Decompression Sickness (The Bends)? | A Simplified Explanation!
Decompression sickness, also know as the bends, is still one of those things which are least understood by divers. Yes, most divers know the symptoms and treatment but what does actually happen in your body? Despite many articles and video's on the internet I have yet to find an easy understandable explanation so even children would get what happens in your body. So what is the Decompression Theory?

Neuro Exam:
1. Orientation
Does the diver know their own name and age?
Does the diver know the present location?
Does the diver know what time, day and year it is?
Note: Even though a diver appears alert, the answers to these questions may reveal confusion. Do not omit them.
2. Eyes
Have the diver count the number of fingers you display, using two or three different numbers.
Check each eye separately and then together.
Have the diver identify a distant object.
Tell the diver to hold head still, or you gently hold it still, while placing your other hand about 50cm in front of their face. Ask the diver to follow your hand. Now move your hand up and down, then side to side. The diver’s eyes should follow your hand and should not jerk to one side and return.
Check that the pupils are equal in size.
3. Face
Ask the diver to purse their lips. Look carefully to see that both sides of the face have the same expression.
Ask the diver to grit their teeth. Feel the jaw muscles to confirm that they are contracted equally.
Instruct the diver to close the eyes while you lightly touch your fingertips across the forehead and face to be sure sensation is present and the same everywhere.
4. Hearing
Hearing can be evaluated by holding your hand about 60cm from the diver’s ear and rubbing your thumb and finger together.
Check both ears moving your hand closer until the diver hears it.
Check several times and compare with your own hearing.
Note: If the surroundings are noisy, the test is difficult to evaluate. Ask bystanders to be quiet and to turn off unneeded machinery.
5. Swallowing Reflex
Instruct the diver to swallow while you watch the “Adam’s apple” to be sure it moves up and down.
6. Tongue
Instruct the diver to stick out their tongue. It should come out straight in the middle of the mouth without deviating to either side.
7. Muscle Strength
Instruct the diver to shrug shoulders while you bear down on them to observe for equal muscle strength.
Check diver’s arms by bringing the elbows up level with the shoulders, hands level with the arms and touching the chest. Instruct the diver to resist while you pull the arms away, push them back, up and down. The strength should be approximately equal in both arms in each direction.
Check leg strength by having the diver lie flat and raise and lower the legs while you resist the movement.
8. Sensory Perception
Check on both sides by touching lightly as was done on the face. Start at the top of the body and compare sides while moving downwards to cover the entire body.
Note: The diver’s eyes should be closed during this procedure. The diver should confirm the sensation in each area before you move to another area.
9. Balance and Coordination
Note: Be prepared to protect the diver from injury when performing this test.

An introduction for healthcare staff about how divers with decompression illness can be treated in the Aberdeen Hyperbaric Unit. With a brief summary of the treatment options and some of their practicalities.
Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit provides recompression treatment for decompression illness (DCI) and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) osteoradionecrosis, soft tissue radiation injury and other wounds and infections.
The Hyperbaric Medicine Unit is based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) and is located in the National Hyperbaric Centre (NHC). The Unit is funded by the National Services Division of NHS Scotland to provide medical treatment and advice for diving-related illness. The Unit also provides treatment for other conditions that have been shown to respond well to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
There are four classifications of chamber used by the British Hyperbaric Association (BHA). Our Unit is classed as the highest, category 1 – the only one in Scotland capable of providing intensive care support in a hyperbaric environment.
The Unit has access to the hospital’s on-site helipad for reception of casualties from distant locations either directly from the scene via coastguard, navy or air force rescue helicopter or from another facility. Patients may also arrive by fixed-wing aircraft at Aberdeen airport.
Medical, nursing and technical staff are on call 24 hours per day. The nurses who cover routine treatments and emergency cases at the Unit are based in the Critical care, ARI and have all undergone training in hyperbaric nursing in addition to existing critical care training. We also support diving related NHS cases treated elsewhere in Scotland, with the consultants providing medical advice.
The Hyperbaric Chamber
The Unit’s chamber is maintained by the National Hyperbaric Centre who also provide support staff to enable the Unit’s chamber to operate 24 hours per day. The chamber is 7.8m long, 2.2m in diameter, 30.4m³ in volume and is rated to a working depth of 300msw (31ata). There are two fixed bunks and a moveable Stryker trolley as used in some Accident and Emergency departments. A respiratory ventilator, suction apparatus and electronic monitoring equipment enable the chamber to be used for the treatment of critically ill patients. There is also full critical care equipment available including a cardiac defibrillator and emergency drugs. The chamber is linked to several others operated by the NHC, which can be used to treat multiple casualties. The entry lock in our chamber allows equipment and additional personnel to be compressed to the working depth as required. Small items, food, drugs or samples can be passed in or out through a small medical lock.
