Die biologische Wirkung hoher stossfreier Druckbelastung (The Biological Effect of a Shock Free High Pressure Load)

Abstract

This study describes experiments on albino rats designed to determine the biological tolerance foe a shock free high pressure load. Rats were subjected to pressure up to 46 atm. The results, which are presented in tabular form, demonstrate that there are interrelationships between pressure level, exposure time, and decompression time that are decisive for the survival rates of the animals. The survival rate declines with pressure level and exposure time. Findings were only preliminary regarding the release of nitrogen bubbles in the caudal vena cava related to decompression sickness.
