A paramedic has a high level of prehospital medical training and usually involves key skills not performed by technicians, often including cannulation ( and with it the ability to use a range of drugs to relieve pain, correct cardiac problems, and to assist with endotracheal intubation ), cardiac monitoring, tracheal intubation, needle decompression and other skills such as performing a cricothyrotomy.

Thus the process involves only one ascent, thereby mitigating the time-consuming and comparatively risky process of in-water, staged decompression normally associated with non-saturation (" mixed gas diving or sur-D O2 ") operations.

The management of true cauda equina syndrome frequently involves surgical decompression.

A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt ( TIPS ) involves the decompression of the high pressures in the portal circulation by placing a small stent between a portal and hepatic vein.

There was, however, some suggestion that post dive fatigue is due to sub-clinical decompression sickness ( DCS ) ( i. e. micro bubbles in the blood insufficient to cause symptoms of DCS ); the fact that the study mentioned was conducted in a dry chamber with an ideal decompression profile may have been sufficient to reduce sub-clinical DCS and prevent fatigue in both nitrox and air divers.

In technical diving, the diver may carry different equipment for different phases of the dive ; some breathing gas mixes may only be used at depth, such as trimix and others, such as pure oxygen, which only may be used during decompression stops in shallow water.

A consequence of the higher loading in some tissues is that many decompression algorithms require deeper decompression stops than a similar decompression dive using air, and helium is more likely to come out of solution and cause decompression sickness following a fast ascent.

Though some evidence indicates sonar-related activities can actually lead to a form of decompression sickness in beaked whales, the topic is still up for debate.

Nine people are sucked from the plane by explosive decompression to their deaths ; at least some of the nine are killed instantly when they are sucked into the number 3 engine.

Alternatively, some trimix divers inflate their suits from a decompression cylinder containing a nitrox blend ( all such decompression blends, including pure oxygen, have essentially the same thermal conductivity as air ).

This is critical in scuba diving, and a diver may have to wait in an airlock for some hours in line with decompression tables.

Several analogue decompression meters were subsequently made, some with several bladders for illustrating the effect on various body tissues, but they were sidelined with the arrival on the scene of electronic computers.

If some of the inert gas-laden blood passes through the patent foramen ovale ( PFO ), it avoids the lungs and the inert gas is more likely to form large bubbles in the arterial blood stream, causing decompression sickness.

Similarly, some file systems allow transparent compression and decompression of data, enabling users to store more files on a medium without any special knowledge ; some file systems encrypt files transparently.

The buoy marks the diver's position underwater so the boat safety cover can locate the diver even though the diver may have drifted some distance from the dive site while doing decompression stops.

For example, in some circles in Europe, a red buoy indicates normal decompression and a yellow buoy indicates a problem, such as shortage of gas, that the surface support should investigate and resolve.

It is considered bad practice in some jurisdictions to fill a lift bag from the diver's breathing gas cylinder, particularly if the diver has decompression obligations or only one cylinder as the risk of using up too much air and leaving the diver without sufficient air for a safe ascent is considered unacceceptable.

If some of the inert gas-laden blood passes through the PFO, it avoids the lungs and the inert gas is more likely to form large bubbles in the arterial blood stream causing decompression sickness.

Being optimized for stream decompression and collaborative work with LZMA, REP has some differences from the original RZIP implementation.

However, physical therapy and chiropractic cannot " cure " the degeneration, and some people view that strong compliance with postural modification is necessary to realize maximum benefit from decompression, adjustments, and flexibility rehabilitation.

The decompression routine is a negligible factor in boot time, and prior to the development of the bzImage, the size constraints of some architectures, notably i386, were extremely limiting, making compression a necessity.

Duke was also used so that Thompson could talk about himself-after a diving accident Thompson had to spend some time in a decompression chamber, and wrote a letter signed ' Raoul Duke ' in which the pseudonym described the insanity of Thompson's condition in the chamber-holding up scrawled notes to the single glass window and ordering a television set to watch coverage of the Watergate hearings.

If there is a bone spur that instigated the rotator cuff tear, arthroscopic repair, open repair ( 6 – 10 cm incision ), or mini-open repair ( 3 – 5 cm incision ) will often include an acromioplasty, a subacromial decompression, as part of the procedures.

Subacromial decompression consists of removal of a small portion of the bone ( acromion ) that overlies the rotator cuff, hoping to relieve pressure on the rotator cuff in certain conditions and promote healing and recovery.

Observations from Greek fighter aircraft indicate a decompression problem.

This would have left a steep cliff, the bottom of which would be protected, because the limestone of the Cathedral Formation is difficult to compress, from tectonic decompression.

Because compressed data must be decompressed to be used, this extra processing imposes computational or other costs through decompression, this situation is far from being a free lunch.

These implementations originally come from NetBSD, and supports decompression of bzip2 and the Unix format.

Some ancillary code ( counters ) may suffer from overflow for long data streams, but this does not affect the actual compression or decompression.

Sony's ATRAC codec differs from uncompressed PCM in that it is a psychoacoustic lossy audio data reduction scheme and is such that the recorded signal does not require decompression on replay.

Leaving the platform on the surface of the ship, the platform crew and remaining SEALS are surprised to find they are fine and not suffering from decompression sickness after rising so fast out of the water, believing it to be an effect by the NTIs.

To avoid decompression sickness, they would have to hang from hoses halfway up the tank for as long as two hours, breathing pure oxygen.

For instance, those affected with NF 2 might benefit from a surgical decompression of the vestibular tumors to prevent deafness.

Other complications arise from nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness, which also occur in humans.

** gziplite: Minimalist rework of / with minimal memory requirement, also supporting on-the-fly data compression / decompression ( no need to bufferize all input ) and input / output to / from memory.

Finally, the upper punch is pulled up and out of the die ( decompression ), and the tablet is ejected from the die by lifting the lower punch until its upper surface is flush with the top face of the die.

The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired aft pressure bulkhead, which failed in mid flight and destroyed most of its vertical stabilizer, and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the 747 virtually uncontrollable.

On exiting the tunnel, the workers had to undergo controlled decompression to avoid the bends, a condition in which nitrogen bubbles form in the blood from rapid decompression.

* Aloha Airlines Flight 243 suffered a decompression which tore an section of fuselage away from the plane.

* August 22 – Far Eastern Air Transport Flight 103, a Boeing 737-222, suffers explosive decompression shortly after departure from Taipei Songshan Airport in Taipei, Taiwan, after severe corrosion leads to a pressure hull rupture.

* 24 February 1989-United Airlines Flight 811, a United Airlines 747 flight from Honolulu, Hawaii, suffered explosive decompression, killing nine.

The decompression events can occur anywhere from September to December, and anything afterwards is typically considered a warm-up for the next Burning Man.

The name comes from an analogy to diving, where decompression refers to a period of time spent by deep sea divers either in decompression chambers or at various depths on their way to the surface henceforth, gradually adjust to surface pressure in order to avoid the bends.

* April 28-Aloha Airlines Flight 243 suffers an explosive decompression in flight over the Hawaiian Islands, with the roof blowing off the Boeing 737-200 from the cockpit to just in front of the wings.

It is further defined as an activity that includes one or more of the following: diving beyond 40 meters / 130 feet, required stage decompression, diving in an overhead environment beyond 130 linear feet from the surface, accelerated stage decompression and / or the use of multiple gas mixtures in a single dive.
