Hello,

I was referring to decompression in the water, which was the subject of Mark's original post. Treatment of DCS was one of the "other circumstances" that was running through my mind when I made my original post. However, I was reluctant to mention it for several reasons: first, because there is no data whatsoever describing benefit in treatment of DCS; and second, because there are potential disadvantages from putting DCS victims head down. It follows that it would be inappropriate to suggest this as a legitimate first aid strategy.

Warm regards,

Simon M

Hehe, I understand that you have a bit different level of responsibility if making recommendations than me

I'll go get bent and check if it works
