Excerpt from Caisson Sickness: And the Physiology of Work in Compressed Air
The Editors hope to-issue in this series of International Medical Monographs contributions to the domain of the Medical Sciences on subjects of immediate interest, made by first-hand authorities who have been engaged in extending the confines of knowledge. Readers who seek to follow the rapid progress made in some new phase of investigation will find herein accurate information acquired from the consultation of the leading authorities of Europe and America, and illuminated by the researches and considered opinions of the authors.
Amidst the press and rush of modern research, and the multitude of papers published in many tongues, it is necessary to find men of ripe experience, who will winnow the wheat from the chaff, and give us the present knowledge of their own subjects in a duly balanced, concise, and accurate form.
The present volume is the work of one of the Editors, who hopes that the results of his prolonged investigation bearing upon Caisson Sickness will be found of sufficient interest to. Justify inclusion in the Series.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In the early days, divers could only withstand the crushing water pressure and lack of oxygen for a few minutes at a time before resurfacing. This book brings together the results of 15-year research into the causes, cure, and prevention of decompression sickness. The author, an expert in this field, has gathered a team of top scientists to explore the physiological effects of compressed air work, which has significant implications for engineers who work to build harbors and tunnels, the navies and mercantile marines, and pearl and sponge fisheries. The book engages with previous work in the field and draws heavily on the masterly work of Paul Bert but is written in an accessible style for the general reader. The author also shares insights gathered from the latest scientific research, such as the most efficient use of oxygen and exercise to accelerate decompression. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in compressed air work, and its insights will undoubtedly contribute to safer working conditions and the extension of human ability to work underwater. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
