Decompression sickness, also called the bends, is a life-threatening diving emergency that every EMT and paramedic must recognize. It occurs when dissolved nitrogen in the blood forms bubbles during a rapid ascent from deep water. These nitrogen bubbles block circulation, damage tissue, and can cause neurological and cardiopulmonary collapse.

In this EMT training video, you’ll learn:

The pathophysiology of decompression sickness (DCS)

Why rapid ascent leads to nitrogen bubble formation

Symptoms: joint pain, dizziness, numbness, confusion, difficulty breathing, skin mottling, paralysis

Critical treatments: supportive care, high-flow oxygen, and transport to a hyperbaric chamber

👉 Recognizing decompression sickness is vital for NREMT exam prep and for handling real-life EMS calls.
