What Does DCI Stand For?
DCI stands for Decompression Illness
DCI, or Decompression Illness, refers to a medical condition that occurs when a person suffers from a rapid decrease in pressure, leading to the formation of gas bubbles in the body. This condition is commonly associated with divers who ascend too quickly from depths, resulting in symptoms that can range from mild joint pain to severe neurological impairment. Timely recognition and treatment are crucial for effective management, often involving hyperbaric oxygen therapy to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
