A gas bubble may be placed inside the eye, to keep the retina in place. If a gas bubble is used, sometimes a certain head positioning (posturing) has to be maintained, such as face down or sleeping on the right or left side. The gas bubble will dissolve over time, but this takes several weeks.
Visual representation of an eye with a gas bubble looking at a bouquet of flowers (8 days after vitrectomy surgery). Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat complicated retinal detachments. [8] It is especially useful for large retinal tears or tears that are not easily visible. [8]
Vitreous hemorrhage is the extravasation, or leakage, of blood into the areas in and around the vitreous humor of the eye. [1] The vitreous humor is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eye.
The gas bubble disease may cause floating problems due to the excessive amount of gas in their bodies, ultimately leading to upside-down swimming and death. [3] Gas bubble disease may also occur in humans and is commonly known as decompression sickness. It generally occurs in divers when they resurface without using proper decompression procedures.
Depressurisation causes inert gases, which were dissolved under higher pressure, to come out of physical solution and form gas bubbles within the body. These bubbles produce the symptoms of decompression sickness. [17] [52] Bubbles may form whenever the body experiences a reduction in pressure, but not all bubbles result in DCS. [53]
“We’re going pretty good right now, and the last thing we want to do is take our foot off the gas.” Just about everything has worked out for Washington, from Alex Ovechkin scoring 26 goals in 38 games around a broken left leg in hot pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's career record , to newcomers like Thompson, Mangiapane, center Pierre-Luc Dubois ...
The contents of the resultant gas bubble are thought to be mainly carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen. [13] The effects of this process will remain for a period of time known as the "refractory period", during which the joint cannot be "re-cracked", which lasts about 20 minutes, while the gases are slowly reabsorbed into the synovial fluid.
