The Hypobaric Decompression Sickness (DCS) Treatment Model links a decrease in computed bubble volume from increased pressure (ΔP), increased oxygen (O2) partial pressure, and passage of time during treatment to the probability of symptom resolution [P(SR)]. The decrease in offending volume is reali...
