Extract

The rescue of victims of accidents during underwater activities, and the treatment of the pathology provoked by too rapid ascent in diving, are unfortunately problems which still remain relevant today. The concept of rapid artificial recompression is at the basis of the fundamental therapeutic techniques for the early treatment of all those involved in accidents of this type. Though numerous advances have been achieved in this field, many practical limitations still prevent their complete utilization.
