잠수활동에서 혼합가스 호흡과 감압증(잠수병)의 고찰 = The relationship between Decompression Sickness(DCS) and Mixtures of Gases in Underwater Activities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of the study was to review the effects of mixtures breathing gases on the decompression sickness(DCS), which was divided into embolism, inert gas narcosis, and oxygen balance as decompression syndrome explained in previous studies in diving. Certainly most established diving practices try to avoid situations which one or another, or combinations, threaten a diver. To prevent those, mixed breathing gases, across a spectrum of activities, have been utilized successfully, which mostly consist of mixtures of nitrogen, helium, and oxygen, differing from pure air, and lately those with higher oxygen content than air(enriched), which can be employed efficiently in shallow diving. Non-enriched mixtures of nitrogen/oxygen(nitrox), helium/oxygen(heliox), and helium/nitrogen/oxygen(trimix), of course, have been employed commercially in deep and saturation diving. Recently, mixtures of hydrogen/oxygen(hydrox) have been tested. Furthermore, for precise examination of the mixture of more breathing gases` effects in underwater activities, it may be necessary to test the influence of mixtures breathing of quadrox(nitrogen/hydrogn/ helium/oxygen for effective activities.
