Initiating gastric decompression. Intermittent suction provides alternating periods of gastric-tube suction force followed by a release of suction, which reduces the risk of mucosal erosion. In contrast, continuous suction is the application of suction force without interruption. Intermittent suction is used for most tubes due to the risk of mucosal damage. The exception is the gastric sump tube.
decompression. The reduction of atmospheric pressure. Particularly, various techniques for preventing decompression sickness (also called caisson disease by gradual decompression. Decompression sickness is caused by the evolution of nitrogen bubbles in the body as a result of the effects of reduced atmospheric pressure. Normal symptoms of decompression sickness are the bends, chokes, and creeps; unconsciousness; and neurological symptoms. It can be potentially fatal if the original higher pressure is not restored. Fighter crews use pressure suits and pressure breathing to avoid the effects of decompression sickness.
