title: Dysbarism. A review.
abstract: This review of dysbarism outlines the development of the knowledge of the effects of pressure changes on tissues and organs, which is related to a complex of physical, physiological and pharmacological changes. It also shows that with the ever increasing pressures to which man is subject the effects can be regarded as total body rather than the traditional concept of a few target organs.
