What Does DCS Stand For?
DCS stands for Decompression Sickness
DCS, or Decompression Sickness, is a medical condition that occurs when a diver ascends too quickly after spending time at depths under water. It results from the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the body, which can lead to symptoms ranging from joint pain and fatigue to more severe neurological complications. Prompt recognition and treatment, typically involving hyperbaric oxygen therapy, are crucial to mitigate potential long-term effects.
