Re: Depth, pressure and squeeze

Just my small input to this complicated topic.
Just to clear the air that people don't get the misconception that there is no such thing as "lung squeeze", but it only affects the tretchea etc...(I'm not saying this has been implied, but someone reading this thread might get that idea)
There are documented cases of severe edema in the lungs after getting squeezed, visible still days later after the dive and severly impairing the persons physical abilities (shortness of breath, feeling weak) for days.
But there are other cases, where there's just a little blood from "somewhere" and it doesn't seem to have any effect...Problem is, it's really hard to tell which is which, but I would not like to flirt with the former kind...But I think there might be 2 kinds of squeeze we're dealing with.
