What is another word for diver palsy?
Pronunciation: [dˈa͡ɪvə pˈɔːlzi] (IPA) 
Diver palsy, also known as decompression sickness or the bends, is a condition that occurs when a diver ascends too quickly and nitrogen bubbles form in their tissues and bloodstream. There are several synonyms for this term, including Caisson disease, which is common in workers who spend extended periods in compressed air environments, and Dysbarism, which refers to all of the physiological effects of changes in barometric pressure. Other synonyms for diver palsy include the chokes, the bends, and compressed air illness. Although diver palsy can be a serious and sometimes life-threatening condition, it can be prevented by following proper diving procedures and ascending slowly to the surface.
