Hi folks-
I'm studying for the DAN first aid course, and there's a question that they haven't answered enough for me to understand.
I know that DCI is caused by bubbles forming and growigin the bloodstream because nitrogen or other inert gasses are not eliminated, but.... why does it seem like it appears a lot of the time in the joints?
I'm biologically-ignorant. I can thank going to art school for that. But is it simply that the space between bones is a convenient place for bubbles to settle? Or are the bubbles no more likely to be there than any tissue, but we're more sensitive there?
Sincerely,
A Biologically Challenged MFA holder.
