Information about venous gas emboli (VGE) detected in the pulmonary artery such as the occurrence of VGE, Grade of VGE, the time when VGE first appear, and the time course of the Grade or occurrence of VGE, could be used to better assess the probability of decompression sickness [P(DCS)] in any hypobaric decompression. We hypothesized that these data would improve the estimate of P(DCS) since objective measurements of the decompression stress are available for the individual.
