Gas Exchange, Partial Pressure Gradients, and the Oxygen Window

The oxygen window. Inherent unsaturation. Partial pressure vacancy. Most divers with an interest in decompression diving have likely encountered one of these terms at some time. All three terms are used to describe the same physical phenomenon.

Current Thoughts on Mechanisms of Hyperoxic Seizures Hyperoxic seizures, like the weather, are a less that totally predictable element of diving. Johnny E. Brian, Jr., M.D PDF
Recent neurochemical basis of inert gas narcosis and pressure effects. Compressed air or a nitrogen-oxygen mixture produces from 0.3MPa nitrogen narcosis. The traditional view was that anaesthesia or narcosis occurs when the volume of a hydrophobic site is caused to expand beyond a critical amount by the absorption of molecules of a narcotic
gas.

Deep stops A closer examination of the decompression model reveals that this practice serves to reduce or eliminate excessive overpressure gradients. Knowing this, the model can be modified to provide precise control of gradients and stops can be calculated within the decompression zone to the depth of the “deepest possible decompression stop.” Erik C. Baker PDF
 
Understanding M-Values
In conjunction with an array of hypothetical "tissue" compartments, gas loading calculations and M-values compose the major elements of the dissolved gas or "Haldanian" decompression model. A good understanding of M-values can help divers to determine appropriate conservatism factors and evaluate the adequacy of various decompression profiles for a particular dive. Erik C. Baker PDF
