[Comparison of the readings of the digital decompression meter with hyperbaric chamber tests].

Abstract

An estimation of the risk incurred through the use of digital decompression computers used by the diver must be based on comparisons with hyperbaric chamber tests. We compared the decompression indications displayed by different commercial devices to depth/bottom time profiles for which hyperbaric chamber experiments have given us the relevant information on types and frequency of decompression sickness.
