BLOOD RHEOLOGICAL FACTOR IN THE PROBLEM OF GASEOUS EMBOLISM

S. P. Levitskii

UDC 532.5:532.135

The main factors affecting growth of bubbles in blood 
upon decompression are discussed. Most attention is 
paid to the role of rheological effects. It is shown 
that viscoelasticity of blood can be neglected in 
description of evolution of gaseous microbubbles. 
Conditions for manifestation of nonlinear viscous 
properties of blood in this problem are discussed.
