Decompression sickness: a guide for emergency nurses.
Decompression sickness (DCS) is commonly associated with diving or occupational exposure to compressed air, and is a life-threatening condition if left untreated. This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology and types of DCS. It also explains the principles of care for people presenting to the emergency department with DCS that emergency nurses must be familiar with, including the recognition of its signs and symptoms and the initial management required. It is important that emergency nurses are aware of the optimal treatment protocol for DCS, which involves its early recognition, prompt administration of high-flow oxygen and referral to the nearest hyperbaric chamber for recompression.
期刊介绍:
Science and Technology of Welding and Joining is an international peer-reviewed journal covering both the basic science and applied technology of welding and joining.
Its comprehensive scope encompasses all welding and joining techniques (brazing, soldering, mechanical joining, etc.) and aspects such as characterisation of heat sources, mathematical modelling of transport phenomena, weld pool solidification, phase transformations in weldments, microstructure-property relationships, welding processes, weld sensing, control and automation, neural network applications, and joining of advanced materials, including plastics and composites.
