Aeroembolism
1. The formation or liberation of gases in the blood vessels
of the body, as brought on by a too-rapid change from a high,
or relatively high, atmospheric pressure to a lower one.
2. The disease or condition caused by the formation of gas
bubbles (mostly nitrogen) in the body fluids. The disease is characterized
principally by neuralgic pains, cramps, and swelling, and sometimes
results in death. Also call decompression sickness .
