DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS AND INERT GAS NARCOSIS.

Abstract

A summary is given of research activities and results in the following areas: Effects of gases in producing decompression sickness; distribution and intensity of bubble formation as a function of time; effects of anesthetic gases on mice; physiological effects of high pressure on mice; experiments with luminous bacteria; body temperature of mice exposed to raised partial pressures of different gases; oxygen poisoning; properties of gases.
