    At depths below 33 feet in the sea, pressure increases by one atmosphere for every 33 feet due to the weight of the water. Nitrogen from the air can dissolve into the body tissues and fluids at high pressures and cause nitrogen narcosis or oxygen toxicity. If a diver rises too quickly to the surface without stopping at an intermediate depth, nitrogen bubbles can form in the tissues and blood, leading to decompression sickness with symptoms like pain, paralysis, dizziness, and breathing difficulties. Treatment involves recompressing the diver in a pressurized chamber to reduce the nitrogen bubbles.

    DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS

    (BEND,CAISSON DISEASE
    ,DYSBARISM)

    RELATIONSHIP OF PRESURE TO SEA


    DEPTH
    When we go to deep into sea ,with
    every 33ft depth ,pressure increases
    by one atmosphere
    A column of seawater 33 ft deep
    exerts the same pressure at its
    bottom as the pressure of the
    atmosphere above the sea.
    At 33ft depth of sea, a person is
    exposed to 2 atmospheric pressure

    EFFECT OF HIGH PARTIAL


    PRESSURES ON BODY
    NITROGEN NARCOSIS AT HIGH
    NITROGEN PRESSURES
    OXYGEN TOXICITY AT HIGH
    PRESSURE

    DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
    If a diver remains beneath sea for a
    long time ,large amount of nitrogen
    becomes dissolved in his body fluids.
    When the diver suddenly comes back
    to sea surface , nitrogen bubbles
    develop in his ICF, ECF that damage
    different areas of body especially
    brain .

    CLINICAL FEATURES

    Local pain in legs or arms


    Dizziness
    Paralysis
    Chokes or shortness of breath
    Extreme fatigue and pain

    Management
    RECOMPRESSION OF DIVERS IN
    PRESSURE TENTS
