Unraveling the Threat of DCS - How to Safeguard against getting the BENDS with Simon Mitchell

Decompression sickness (DCS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects divers who ascend too quickly or do not follow proper decompression procedures. 

In this video, Benjamin Hadfield, a master instructor from Teach Me to Dive, interviews Professor Simon Mitchell, a world-renowned expert in diving medicine and hyperbaric research. 

Professor Mitchell shares his insights on the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of DCS, as well as his fascinating experiences as a diver and a researcher. He also answers some common questions about DCS, such as:

- What is DCS and how does it affect the body?
- How do bubbles form and grow in the tissues and blood vessels?
- How does he study hyperbaric research in divers?
- What are the risk factors and protective factors for DCS?
- How does exercise affect the chances of getting DCS?
- What are the best practices for avoiding and managing DCS?
