[Determination of divers' resistance to decompression gas formation]
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between the state of the individual functions of the organism and the intensity of decompression venous gas embolism after high air pressure exposure. The analysis of the guidelines defining the procedure of divers' medical examination was made and 320 divers were surveyed. Indices of the divers' central nervous and cardiovascular systems were measured before and after their immersion into a hyperbaric chamber. The study found that the conduct divers' on-resistance to unfavorable scuba dive should be provided by the military-medical commission, so the position of diving doctor should be put to it staff. It was revealed that the rate of simple visual-motor reaction, measured before the diving can serve as an indicator of human resistance to decompression gassing. The formula for determining the stability of decompression gassing of men aged 20-30 years in terms of state of organism functions was proposed.
