Pure oxygen?

[edit]

I don't think they would be putting patients on pure oxygen below 6 meters water equivalent - on oxygen at 60 feet sounds deadly due to toxicity —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.250.97.6 (talkcontribs) 08:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is standard practice for treatment of decompression sickness (60 fsw = 18 msw on oxygen = 2.8 bar ppO2) - see US Navy table 5 and 6 among others. Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The image of the two divers is of them in a DEcompression chamber, not REcompression —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.175.101.2 (talk) 21:19, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out; I've removed the image. Graham87 01:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
