KIN 424: THE HYPERBARIC ENVIRONMENT –Q&A

Contraindications for HBO - Pneumothorax Hx thoracic surgery, Pulmonary lesions Stapes implants URTI, sinusitis, fever COPD with CO2 retention Bleomycin, Doxorubicin (CANCER DRUGS) Pregnancy Confinement anxiety Diabetes mellitus Epilepsy Exposure ≤ 90 min, ≤ 2 ATA: intermittent air breaks needed Even though serious adverse effects are rare, list two of them. - Oxygen toxicity • alveoli - thickened & stiff if exposure >3hr - Aspirin, insulin, adrenaline, nor adrenaline, cor...

ABCs plus hyperbaric oxygen therapy - transfer to hyperbaric chamber ASAP, gas bubbles may persist in tissues for day adjunct therapy - surgical intervention, antibiotics affinity of CO to hemoglobin - 200 x's that of oxygen boyle's law - pressure and volume inversely proportional under constant temperature, increase ambient pressure to 2atm, decrease volume by 1/2 causes of arterial gas embolism - occur when vascular wall is disrupted (trauma, latrogenic surgical/nonsurgical) chamber ...

U.S Navy Diving And Manned Hyperbaric Systems Safety Certification Manual (MAN- 010) Correct Answers!!

Boyle's Law (Think of water boiling, P&V inversely related) - correct answer A law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature. P1V1=P2V2 Bubbles get bigger as you get closer to the surface Pressure and volume are inversely proportional Dalton's Law (Taking a p...*PP) - Law of Partial Pressures - correct answer the statement that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial ...

a fire in a pressurized chamber will spread how much faster that at atmospheric pressure - 2-6X as an operator of a diesel driven compressor what is the first steps you must take prior to operating the compressor - perform checks to ensure conditions are correct how is the VD pilot valve operated - pneumatically and spring operated how often should a diving volume tank be drained - every 15 -30 mins how often should the oil in a diving compressor be changed - every 200 hours or as required ...

Historically, what were some of the uses for hyperbaric oxygen chambers? CORRECT ANSWER-- decompression sickness - improve radiotherapy - prolong circulatory arrest - treat anaerobic infections - CO poisoning What are the three gas laws CORRECT ANSWER-Boyle's Law (1662) - gas volume changes inversely with the pressure Dalton's Law (1801) - in a mixture of gasses P (total) = Σ (pp1, pp2, pp3) Henry's Law (1803) - the conc. of solute gas α pp gas above the solution What is ...
