What is the difference between saturation and oxygen tension? The problem we face in advocating proper usage of oxygen involves confusion between saturation and oxygen tension, 100% vs.. 100 mmHg. Only dissolved oxygen contributes to the tension (or partial pressure).…
What difference does extra pressure create? Hemoglobin (in red blood cells) holds 97% of its maximum amount of oxygen from normal air or holds 100% when breathing pure oxygen. One gram of hemoglobin can only combine with 1.34 ml of…
What do you feel inside a hyperbaric chamber? The hyperbaric oxygen treatment is a safe and effective therapeutic modality, when delivered by trained and certified individuals. Chamber atmosphere pressurization occurs slowly allowing you to adjust ear pressure changes. Yawning, swallowing…
Decompression Sickness, Decompression Illness, and Arterial Gas Embolism from Blast Injury: Not exactly the same things, but damned close when it comes to treatment. Each of these conditions is brought about by barotrauma, injury caused by changes in ambient pressure…
