Hi Folks After following this thread for a while I have a question. If you are correctly(sic) set up for OWR with a FFM etc and you are down as a tender. If the diver under treatment does go into convulsions due to O2 tox what is the correct procedure? Someone mentioned that you should never bring a convulsing diver to the surface due to the risk of embolism, if you do not have the ability to switch the gas that the diver is breathing, will the convulsions continue while the diver is under pressure and breathing O2? Does this mean that you must have the ability to switch gasses before considering IWR. Thanks Terry P.S. has someone done the calculations for the AusIWR table for the aprox number of cu ft of O2 that would be required to complete the treatment.(I know I am being lazy but my brain has shut down for the holidays). If you were to consider the use of an O2 rebreather for the treatment, how often would you have to flush the loop? -- Life`s ABYSS, then you dive ******************************************************************** Terry McCracken GEC ALSTHOM Information Technology Software Support Engineer Ph: 61 2 415 0509 terrym@ns*.co*.au* Fax: 61 2 417 8635
