Yes, Joe I 100% agree- that is why I gave my report yesterday on my own
CNS ox tox experiance.My point wasn't that my po2 was low(under1.4) but that
it shouldn't be suprising when it happens occasionally at 1.6, particularly
on 100% o2. Dramatic swings of po2 are stresses to the metabolism and a
probable contributor to ox toxicity, just as a switch from helium-rich gas
to air at 180-200fsw will often lead to almost immediate blackout-care to
try this for 5 breaths? Tell your buddy first!
JT gave all the critical information- hell, I asked for some myself, but
the post I responded to seemed to dismiss the reality of the unpredictable
nature of CNS and look for reasons where none probably exist. We all should
have been taught that there is no blame to be placed for a dcs hit because
it is a statistical reality of diving, but most tech divers seem to deny
that same reality as applies to o2 hits. Do you think that the diver who
convulsed will have as many people who will want to partner up with him as a
result of this? Should he? Yes. Will he? Probably not. Even with his
identity protected.And that shouldn't be.
