Well, what are you considering to be 'helium DCS'? People getting bent on HeliOx, or people getting bent on Trimix?

From what i gather from the posts so far in the thread from MadisonBadger, it would seem that they are questioning when trimix might be used, the risks of it in terms of DCS like symptoms and applicability when used in shallower depths (<150 or so) compared to other gas mixes that are common. Trying to organise the various bits of info from around the web regarding stops etc to weigh up the likelihood or desire to take such courses or just general knowledge accumulation to prepare for later use in courses (of course the course would tell you what you want to know, but you dont know what to ask until you have already been taught it - nice viscious circle!).Spectre:Well, what are you considering to be 'helium DCS'?

madisonbadger:so to recap the original question,
Are there any case studies of Helium DCS?
I am trying to get a sense for %occuring, Severity of DCS, treatment schedule, and post treatment follow up, for helium DCS.
thank you for your time and have a good day.
