Well, as usual, David Doolette has gone for the barely credible physical explanation for a neurological phenonema. As any fool knows, bubbles can be found in the circulation after almost any dysbaric exposure (if you are in any doubt, read 'techdiver@opal.com'). Therefore if you get sick it follows that something about the bubbles is bad for you. What could that be? Whatabout the milieu the bubbles find themselves in. Perhaps something happens to the blood after it has been exposed to a gas/liquid surface? Cut youself and see if the blood clots. Drain some blood into a beaker and shake it up. It clots. So you get all get bubbles but you don't all get sick. >endogenous NO or CO. Get a grip on reality. Who brought up anything about NO or CO? Next you will be telling us that the ultrasonic waves from the Doppler device will cause cavitation and bubble formation in the cerebral circulation, ie, Doppler testing always finds bubbles becasue it causes bubbles!
