| Resumen |
The author considers the possibilities of decompression-chamber accidents due to lack of oxygen, low pressure or variations in air pressure. Barotrauma of ear and nasal sinuses, observed in 10% of the cases examined, is the most frequent accident, followed by pre-collapse and collapse due to hypoxia, decompression disturbances and altitude meteorism at heights between 10,000 and 12,000m. Reference is made to the possibility of aero-odontalgia, hypocapnia and vomiting into the respirator. Prevention and treatment. Importance of psychological aspects when conducting simulated ascent tests and necessity for employing experienced personnel for this purpose. |
