| Abstract |
Experiments in mice with an interrupted compression schedule permitting variation of the time and pressure parameters separately, are described. The possibility that the compression rate effect on high-pressure convulsions is an artifact due to body temperature changes is also considered. Concepts for the design of compression schedules for divers working at depths were convulsions are a hazard are derived. It is suggested that time-pressure profiles should carry divers to the greatest tolerable depths fairly rapidly, and then proceed to the final descent at as rapid a rate as is compatible with the subject's comfort. There may be a limit to the protection that can be obtained by the manipulation of compression profiles. |
