Body During Diving

Air～＝78% Nitrogen + 21% Oxygen

Nitrogen Narcosis

• > 4 bar (30m)
• Feel drunk
• Loss of coordination
• Slowed thinking
• Slowed reactions
• Confusion

Ascent slowly and no need additional medical treatment

 CNS Oxygen Toxicity

• Central Nervous System(CNS)
• ppO2 > 1.6
  
• 0.21 * 2.8 (18M) = 0.59 < 1.6
• 0.6 ppO2 during 12hr
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Seizures

Rare and almost impossible for open water divers with air

But be careful when using nitrox

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7092644/

Hypercapnia

• CO2 retention
• Caused by overloading
• Dyspnea (breathlessness)
• Headache
• Confusion

• Decrease loading
• Need medical treatment if unconsciousness

Decompression Issues

Decompression Illness

• aka DCI
• Including decompression sickness (DCS)
• Including arterial gas embolism (AGE)

DCS

• Decompression sickness
• Type I - avoid diving at least 7 days
  • Itching
  • insects crawling over the skin
  • Mottled or marbled skin
• Type II - avoid diving at least 2~4 weeks
  • Bends for joint or skeletal pain
  • Chokes for breathing problems
  • Staggers for neurological problems.

Go to see a doctor!

DCS

Time to onset of first symptoms

DCS

• First aid with oxygen

• Recompression Chamber (3~6 bar)

CC BY 3.0 rs

DCS

• Follow decompression schedule
• 12/18/24 hrs avoid fly after 1/multiple/decompress procedures diving
• Avoid alcohol, sleep late, drink water more
• Keep body fit and healthy

• Gas dissolve into body when decent, and release when ascent
• How to handle gas narcosis
• Follow NDL, ascent speed
• Avoid fly after diving

Recall

• Follow NDL, ascent speed
• Ascent slowly
