Abstract
Purpose of the study: to develop a model for predicting the development of a painless form of decompression sickness from the level of pain sensitivity.
Research method:29 divers and divers aged 20 to 42 with decompression sickness and asymptomatic gas formation were examined.
Results and discussion. Painless forms are 1.6 times more common than decompression sickness with painful (classical) clinical manifestations. Determining the pain threshold for divers and divers is an important element in the prevention of chronic decompression sickness. When a diver’s or diver’s pain threshold is 10 volts or more, an ultrasound examination should be performed at each dive for the presence of intravascular gas formation. In such divers and divers, any symptoms that occur after decompression should be considered decompression sickness.
