Pre-dive whole-body vibration better reduces decompression-induced Vascular Gas Emboli than oxygenation or a combination of both.

Pre-dive whole-body vibration better reduces decompression-induced Vascular Gas Emboli than oxygenation or a combination of both.

Purpose: Since non-provocative dive profiles are no guarantor of protection against decompression sickness, novel means including pre-dive preconditioning interventions, are proposed for its prevention. This study investigated and compared the effect of pre-dive oxygenation, pre-dive whole body vibr...
