Resumen After exposures to hyperbaric pressures, the return to atmospheric pressure is generally achieved by gradual decompression following set tables, sometimes in conjunction with breathing oxygen. There is a need to be able to monitor and improve the effectiveness of decompression procedures under routine operational conditions in compressed air tunnelling. The objective of this literature survey was to evaluate Doppler monitoring of gas bubbles in venous blood as a potential monitoring technique. It is concluded that the use of Doppler flowmetry is likely to be limited for routine hyperbaric work, but proposals are made on what would be needed to make such monitoring suitable in the future.
