TOLERANCE OF MICE X-IRRADIATED IN AN OXYGEN RICH ENVIRONMENT TO THE STRESS OF EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION
Abstract
On the basis of pooled survival data it is concluded the use of either an air or oxygen rich environment during exposure to 700r whole body X- irradiation has no effect on the tolerance of mice to explosive decompression when the stress of decompression is applied within one hour following X- irradiation. The expected thirty-day survival proportion of mice exposed to whole body X-irradiation only while breathing oxygen is significantly reduced when compared to the survival proportion of mice breathing air.
