Investigation on the Saturation and Clearance of Hydrogen Gas in the Brain and Extremities of Man, and Investigations on Biomedical Monitoring of Divers in Wet-Suits.
Abstract
Hydrogen gas clearance and saturation in the brain were monitored in 22 human subjects with chronically implanted electrodes of diagnostic purposes. The half time for clearance/saturation in the human brain seems to vary between 1/2 and 30 Minutes in gray matter and between 6 and 14 minutes in white matter. Inhalation of 8% CO2 with the breathing mixture drastically reduced the half-time but only in some areas of the brain. (Author)
