Prevention of decompression sickness during a simulated space docking mission.

摘要: This study has shown that repetitive exchanges between the American Apollo space vehicle atmosphere of 100% oxygen at 5 psia (258 torr) and Russian Soyuz spacecraft 30% oxygen-70% nitrogen 10 (523 torr), as simulated in altitude chambers, will not likely result any form decompression sickness. conclusion is based upon absence bends seven crewmen who participated 11 tests distributed over three 24-h periods. During each period, transfers from to environments were performed by simulating passage through a docking module which served an airlock where astronauts cosmonauts first adapted other's cabin gases pressures before transfer. Biochemical tests, subjective fatigue scores, complete pain also indicative sickness should be expected if this transfer schedule followed. Language: en
