| Abstract |
Measurement of the mixed venous blood nitrogen content during compression and following decompression in non-anaesthetised dogs showed that desaturation is markedly slower than saturation and that this may be a result of decompression itself. The disappearance of arteriovenous N2 concentration differences during desaturation following decompression sickness shows that cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular changes associated with decompression can potentiate the latter's effects. The decompression model used in the United States, as distinct from that used in the United Kingdom, does not take this asymmetry of uptake and elimination rates into account, and the implications of this are discussed. |
