As for the previous posts... The work was published in 1973 not 1975. It was discovered in man and initially tested with pigs but it was a helium environment with the pigs breathing nitrogen and argon as the inert gas. ICD was also described by Lambertsen as falling into two categories: Superficial and Deep Tissue. (Citations are in the Wikipedia article)
Lambertsen recently donated his amazing life's work to the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and the collection is located here at Duke. I have been pouring through this collection to weed out duplicates prior to inclusion in the official UHMS holdings. Below are three cool old photos from those first trials:
Human with ICD lesions on face 1
Human with ICD lesions on face 2
Pig with ICD lesions on leg (wrapped in bag)
These just happened to be in the boxes I was looking at right before reading this thread so I had to share.

Thank you Gene for your post and all round efforts.
Surprise: The IBCD type that V-Planner warns about is described on Wikipedia under the heading Deep tissue ICD.
The prevention technique described is wrong though. The deep tech divers situation (from He to N2) is the dangerous one and should be avoided.
