Modelling and Validation of Treatment Tables for Severe Decompression Accidents

Abstract

This paper addresses the question of suitable treatment of dysbarism following a severe decompression accident during the use of self-contained breathing apparatus such as the Canadian Underwater Minecountermeasures Apparatus (CUMA) using 1 ata oxygen in helium to a maximum depth of 81 meters. The work involved a dual approach; a theoretical analysis of the problem followed by experimental work designed to follow up specific aspects arising from the theoretical analysis.
