Decompression sickness (DCS, "bends") is caused by formation of bubbles in tissues and/or blood when the sum of dissolved gas pressures exceeds ambient pressure (supersaturation). This may occur when ambient pressure is reduced during any of the following: ascent from a dive; depressurization of a hyperbaric chamber; rapid ascent to altitude in an unpressurized aircraft or hypobaric chamber; loss of cabin pressure in an aircraft; and during space walks.
减压病（DCS，“潜水病”）是由于当溶解气体压力之和超过环境压力（过饱和）时，在组织和/或血液中形成气泡而引起的。当环境压力在以下任何一种情况下降低时，可能会发生这种情况：从潜水上升；高压舱减压；在未加压的飞机或低压舱中快速上升到海拔高度；飞机舱内压力损失；以及在太空行走期间。
