Auszug

Der schwere Tauchunfall ist ein potenziell lebensbedrohliches Ereignis, das bei Tauchern und anderweitig überdruckexponierten Personen in der Dekompressionsphase auftreten kann. Durch einen raschen Abfall des Umgebungsdruckes kommt es zur Bildung freier Gasblasen in Blut und Geweben und dadurch zur Dekompressionserkrankung (DCI, von engl. »decompression illness« oder auch »decompression injury«). Abhängig vom Entstehungsmechanismus werden Dekompressionskrankheit (DCS: »decompression sickness«) und arterielle Gasembolie (AGE) unterschieden [1, 2].
