WHAT IS DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS ? Decompression Sickness (DCS) is a condition in which rapid changes of pressure in an environment causes gases to form bubbles of gas, mainly nitrogen. In diving, when the diver descends, nitrogen is breathed in and is dissolved in the blood and tissues. Subsequently, nitrogen leaves the blood and tissues and forms into tiny bubbles when the diver ascends due to the drop in the surrounding pressure. If the nitrogen is not re-absorbed into the blood and exhaled through the lungs, these tiny bubbles can form into larger bubbles and cause serious damage to your body.
A variety of DCS symptoms may then arise when these bubbles become large in number and block the flow of blood.
Things such as diver-related errors, misuse of dive tables, malfunctioning dive computers or inaccurate depth gauges, are also contributory factors leading to DCS.
WHAT ARE THE INSTANCES IN WHICH DCS MIGHT COMMONLY OCCUR? There are three instances in which decompression sickness may occur:
Divers who ascend too rapidly from a dive,
Long-lasting or multiple dives,
Divers who set off too early from low altitude (surface) to high altitude (mountain or air).
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DCS? The most common symptom of decompression sickness is pain in the arms or leg joints.
Specifications given here are for information purpose only and subject to change according to the aggreement between customer and supplier 4
The other symptoms and signs that can be observed are:
Blotchy skin rash
Fatigue or weakness
Skin itchiness
Dizziness
Shortness of breath
Abdominal distress
Chest pain
Skin swelling
The above signs and symptoms may occur when the diver is still underwater, or they may come about as late as 36-48 hours after a dive.
HOW IS DCS TREATED? Decompression sickness can only be treated through recompression in a high-pressure chamber. This apparatus slowly increases pressure on the person, forcing the bubbles to dissipate.
The pressure is then gradually reduced to enable the person to breathe out the extra gases. Operation of the high-pressure chamber shall only be done by qualified medical personnel.
As soon as you suspect DCS, administer 100% oxygen through a tight-fitting mask. As soon as possible, seek for Emergency Medical Service (EMS) or the nearest medical assistance available.

CHAMBER EQUIPMENTS
Chamber equipment chapter includes all treatment supplementary and support equipment that are located on/in the chamber. These systems can roughly be summarized as below:
No Part Name 1 Chamber Paint 2 Oxygen Breathing System 3 Safety Valve 4 Seat /Bench
5 CO2 Scrubber 6 Temperature and Humidity Sensor 8 Piping 9 Illumination System 10 Chamber Internal Panel
Paint The chambers are covered with flame retardent non-toxic epoxy paint on both exterior and interior surfaces. The paint, due to its flame retardency property starts burning at high temperatures, the burning only ensuses at the centre of the heat source and is extinguished by itself when it is removed. Also the the fumation that ensues during burning is not toxic for humans. This feature also prevents any sickness that may ensue because of the natural fumation spread by the paint because of nominal heat.
Built in Breathing System ( BIBS ) BIBS is a system responsible for supplying the divers and the health officials the required treatment gas for breathing and is also responsible for exhaustion of the used breathing gas from the system.
Amron 350 M BIBS mask is a breathing mask that is used to deliver the treatment gas to the diver. In the below Picture the mask and its connection hose can be seen.
Specifications given here are for information purpose only and subject to change according to the aggreement between customer and supplier 20
Safety Valve Safety valve is responsible for preventing the over increasing of the chamber pressure because of a major failure and harming the divers. There are two types of safety valves:
Safety valves activate themselves as soon as the pressure level reaches 10% over the max. Working pressure and exhausts the excess pressure from the chamber.
Seat and Bench The system has a foldable seat and a bench inside the chamber. This foldable seat must be folded up in order to open/close the door.
Specifications given here are for information purpose only and subject to change according to the aggreement between customer and supplier 21
Foldable Seat The seat is located at the chamber and allows the health official to sit comfortably during pressure equalization.
Seats are folded easily removable and orthopaedic seats made specifically for hyperbaric use. It must be folded up in order to allow the door to be opened/closed. It is folded down after the door is shut. It is designed for the health official to sit on during the session.
The covers of the seats are certified flame-proof, made from artificial plain leather
Sensors The chamber has many sensors that help and support the treatment and provide beter conditions. Also provides the personnel with information. For this purpose the chamber has a pressure sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and oxygen sensor. The readings that are done from these sensors can be read from the digital indicators on the control panel.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Scrubber Located in the chamber the carbon dioxide scrubber uses a 24-volt dc fan to pass air through a chemical bed. Moisture and carbon dioxide in the air react with the chemicals in the bed, such as sodalime and Sodasorb, to remove the carbon dioxide from the ambient air within the chamber

Medical lock cover system is made from Al 5083, and with high material strength and corrosion resistance it continues service for extended periods of time. During the chamber lifetime it can safely for over 8 years without any problems.
The airtightness between the medical lock shell and the cover is guaranteed by a specially made cast and heat cured gasket. Gasket design has a wing that prevents the gasket from bucking back during compression. With the connection of the surface and the wing during pressurization total airtightness is ensured. When the pressure equalization button of medical lock outside cover does not operate in order to decrease the pressure and control the pressure of the medical lock, one manometer and one pressure equalization valve is put.
