Evaluation of heliox saturated diving on the basis of selected haemostatic parameters
Abstract:
The present study was conducted to evaluate decompression, stress after heliox saturated dives on the basis of selected haemostatic parameters. Instantenously before and after each pressure exposure, the following examinations were performed: determination of blood platelets count, of aggregation and fibrinogen level, of several coagulation factors VII, XII and of hematocrit. After diving, a slight drop of blood platelet count and XII factor and fibrinogen was observed. Evaluation of haemostasis is a useful tool not only to verify decompression systems, but to correct them as well.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
