recompression|ˌriːkəmˈprɛʃən|
[re- 5 a.]
1. a. The state of being compressed again. b. The action of compressing again, esp. by exposure to increasing air pressure (e.g. during descent from a high-altitude flight without pressurization or following decompression after a dive).
1939Jrnl. R. Aeronaut. Soc. XLIII. 822 After the shock the speed again becomes subsonic, so that the consequent divergence of the streamlines on the back part of the upper surface generates a recompression. 1943M. A. & F. A. Hitchcock tr. Bert's Barometric Pressure I. ii. iv. 501 M. Bucquoy mentions..the cure of muscular swellings by recompression. 1951Ferris & Engel in J. F. Fulton et al. Decompression Sickness ii. 23 The pain of bends is immediately relieved by recompression of 3000- to 6000-foot equivalents and recurs upon reascent to the original altitude. 1969A. R. Behnke in Bennett & Elliott Physiol. & Med. of Diving xi. 227 Hoppe-Seyler (1857) described blockage of pulmonary vessels by nascent bubbles and the inability of the heart to propel blood under these conditions. He proposed recompression to absorb the liberated gas and re⁓establish circulation. 1973Nature 21–28 Dec. 523/1 These did not occur at maximum altitude, but during the recompression. The other runs gave clear heart signals throughout. 1977Hongkong Standard 14 Apr. 16/3 Mr Ng was later sent to Queen Mary Hospital, after the specialists were satisfied there was no need for further recompression.
2. recompression chamber or lock, a chamber in which a person can be subjected to an air pressure above that of the atmosphere.
1951A. R. Behnke in J. F. Fulton et al. Decompression Sickness iii. 87 Individuals believed to be ‘cured’..have been rushed to the recompression chamber in a state of collapse. 1967P. D. Griffiths in R. I. McCallum Decompression of Compressed Air Workers 229 An important factor is that medical recompression locks often have a safe working pressure..of only 45–50 p.s.i.g. 1976Daily Tel. 27 Jan. 15/1 A 14-year-old boy, critically ill with carbon monoxide poisoning, recovered consciousness yesterday in the Royal Navy's recompression chamber at Rosyth dockyard. 1977Proc. R. Soc. Med. LXX. 503/2 This involves being able to carry out a detailed examination of the patient, and to put up infusions, give injections or insert catheters in the confined, noisy and pressurized space of a recompression chamber. |
