Gap EVA 12: What is the risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in micro- and partial-gravity environments? (the content of this gap is now contained in the Risk of Decompression Sickness)
This Gap was split into the following Gaps:
DCS1: We do not know the acceptable DCS risk with respect to the work efficiency index (WEI) for exploration scenarios.
DCS2: We do not know the contribution of specific DCS risk factors to the development of DCS in the Space Flight Exploration Environment.
DCS3: We do not know the mission related factors that contribute to DCS risk.
DCS4: We do not know to what extent physiological and environmental factors can be incorporated and validated in a model of DCS for micro and reduced gravity.
DCS6: We do not know what new developments related to DCS will come from other investigators.
DCS5: We do not know what validated procedures will adequately prevent DCS.
DCS7: We have not validated procedures to adequately treat DCS in the spaceflight environment should it occur.

Split Rationale
