Physiological Discovery Insights

Thermal Perfusion Coupling: Research shows heating divers (or swine models) during decompression dilates peripheral vascular beds, multiplying cardiac output to lipid and muscle tissues by up to 1.5x. This vastly accelerates inert nitrogen clearance before microbubbles can reach critical nucleation radius.
