Mixed-gas model for predicting decompression sickness in rats
Mixed-gas model for predicting decompression sickness in rats is a scholarly work, published in 2000 in ''Journal of Applied Physiology''. The main subjects of the publication include animal science, chemistry, animal model, hemoglobin, Washout, atrial heart septal defect, decompression, mechanics, Altitude sickness, decompression sickness, and anaesthesia. Results supported past findings, including 1) differences among the gases in decompression risk (He < N2 < Ar) and exchange rate (He > Ar ≈ N2), 2) significant decompression risk of O2, and 3) increased risk of decompression sickness with heavier animals.
