Line 105:
The function of decompression models has changed with the availability of Doppler ultrasonic bubble detectors, and is no longer merely to limit symptomatic occurrence of decompression sickness, but also to limit asymptomatic post-dive venous gas bubbles.<ref name="Papadopoulou 2013" /> A number of empirical modifications to dissolved phase models have been made since the identification of venous bubbles by Doppler measurement in asymptomatic divers soon after surfacing.<ref name="Huggins 1981"/>
===Efficiency and safety===
Two criteria have been used in comparing decompression schedules: Safety and efficiency, where [[decompression efficiency]] is defined as the ability of a schedule to provide safety from decompression sickness in the shortest time spent decompressing, and decompression safety is measured by the probability of decompression sickness incurred by following a given schedule for a given dive profile.<ref name="Edel 1980" />
