摘要: Moving bubbles have been observed in the blood during or after decompression using ultrasonic techniques. It has proposed that these may grow from nuclei housed on vessel wall. One candidate for bubble nucleation is hydrophobic crevices. This work explores growth of gas pockets might exist conical crevices and release under decompression. An existing dynamic mathematical model stability [Chappell, M.A., Payne, S.J., press. A physiological their behavior compression. Respir. Physiol. Neurobiol.] extended to include as pocket reaches crevice mouth seed into bloodstream. The explored a single inert gas, both alone with metabolic gases included. was found presence significant effect this appears be due high diffusivity gases.
