DECOMPRESSION PHYSIOLOGY and SUSCEPTIBILITY

ثبت نشده
چکیده

When a diver breaths air from scuba equipment at depth, N2 is breathed at an increased partial pressure. Because gas diffuses from areas of high concentration (high partial pressure) to areas of lower concentration, N2 is taken up from the lungs by the blood and transported around the body and into the tissues. The greater the depth, the greater the partial pressure of N2, and therefore the amount of N2 absorbed. Early in the 20 century, Haldane applied this concept to decompression.

Ascent rate, age, maximal oxygen uptake, adiposity, and circulating venous bubbles after diving.

Decompression sickness in diving is recognized as a multifactorial phenomenon, depending on several factors, such as decompression rate and individual susceptibility. The Doppler ultrasonic detection of circulating venous bubbles after diving is considered a useful index for the safety of decompression because of the relationship between bubbles and decompression sickness risk. The aim of this ...

Acclimation to decompression: stress and cytokine gene expression in rat lungs.

Previous studies demonstrated that animals exposed to repeated compression-decompression stress acclimated (i.e., developed reduced susceptibility) to rapid decompression. This study endeavored to characterize inflammatory and stress-related gene expression and signal transduction associated with acclimation to rapid decompression. Rats were divided into four groups: 1) control-sham: pressure n...

Acclimatization to neurological decompression sickness in rabbits.

Diving acclimatization refers to a reduced susceptibility to acute decompression sickness (DCS) in individuals undergoing repeated compression-decompression cycles. We demonstrated in a previous study that the mechanism responsible for this acclimatization is similar to that of stress preconditioning. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of prior DCS preconditioning on the sever...

Additional Mechanisms for the Origin of Bubbles in Animals Decompressed to Simulated Altitudes

1. A heavy ingestion of frothy emulsified fat by rats and bullfrogs does not increase susceptibility to bubble formation when the animals are decompressed 2 to 72 hours later. This indicates that gaseous films (bubble nuclei) initially present do not pass across the intestinal wall with the digested fat, and also that high fat content per se in the lymph and blood does not increase susceptibili...

Supersaturation by counterperfusion and diffusion of gases.

Gaseous supersaturation can be induced under steady-state conditions when two inert gases are transmitted in opposite directions across any system comprising a diffusion barrier adjacent to a zone of limited convective capacity. This has many implications for bubble formation in vivo and can explain the occurence of symptoms of decompression sickness without decompression.
