[Formation of gas bubbles in biological tissues in decompression (a mathematical model)].

A mathematical model simulating transport of gases between a bubble resulted from decompression and tissue around is presented. With the help of the model the influence of gas mixture and density of the bubble forming centres upon the growth rate was studied. An important part of CO2 in the bubble forming was found out. The bubbles with He have been shown to grow faster than those with N2. At a 5-10-fold decrease of the outer pressure during 1-2 seconds the bubbles can reach sizes which violate hemodynamics in the system of microcirculation.
