Decompression: In physics, decompression refers to a reduction of pressure or compression, and to some extent, to the consequences of a reduction of pressure. Decompression has obvious consequences when applied to gases or liquids containing dissolved gases. (Physics) [100%] 2023-11-16 [Pressure] [Mechanics]...
Decompression (surgery): In medicine, decompression refers to the removal or repositioning of any structure compressing any other structure. Common examples include decompressive craniectomy (removal of part of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain), and spinal decompression to relieve pressure on ...

Decompression (diving): The decompression of a diver is the reduction in ambient pressure experienced during ascent from depth. It is also the process of elimination of dissolved inert gases from the diver's body which accumulate during ascent, largely during pauses in ...
