5 Hypemic Hypoxia An oxygen deficiency due to reduction in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood Adequate oxygen Blood moving slowly Stagnant Hypoxia Reduced blood flow Red blood cells not replenishing tissue needs fast enough Adequate oxygen Poisoned tissue Histotoxic Hypoxia Inability of the cell to accept or use oxygen Red blood cells retain oxygen Hypoxia Symptoms what you feel (subjective) Air hunger Apprehension Fatigue Nausea Headache Dizziness Denial Hot & Cold Flashes Euphoria Belligerence Blurred Vision Numbness Tingling Hypoxia Signs what we see in you (objective) Hyperventilation Cyanosis Mental confusion Poor Judgment Lack of muscle coordination Stages of Hypoxia Indifferent Stage Compensatory Stage Disturbance Stage Critical Stage 5 5

Hyperventilation (causes) Emotional (fear, anxiety, apprehension) Pressure breathing Hypoxia Hyperventilation Symptoms tingling sensations muscle spasms hot and cold sensations visual impairment dizziness unconsciousness 8 8
9 Hyperventilation reason for symptoms: loss of carbon dioxide [CO 2 ] shift in ph balance Hyperventilation significance incapacitation of an otherwise outstanding, healthy air crewmember confusion with hypoxia Hyperventilation (distinguishing factors) Hyperventilation (corrective actions) above 10,000 feet possible hypoxia below 10,000 feet probably hyperventilation Don t Panic Control your breathing Check your oxygen equipment - it may be hypoxia Dysbarism Boyle s Law Syndrome resulting from the effects, excluding hypoxia, of a pressure differential between the ambient barometric pressure and the pressure of gases within the body. The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure; temperature remaining constant. 9 9

If unable to clear, climb back to altitude until clear by pressure or valsalva. Descend slowly and clear ear frequently during descent. Barodontalgia Tooth pain due to: Gum abscess: dull pain on ascent Inflamed pulp: sharp pain on ascent Inflamed maxillary sinus: pain primarily on descent TREATMENT of Barodontaliga Descend aircraft/chamber to sea level. Seek dental help Decompression Sickness (evolved gas dysbarism) Results due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure. As pressure decreases, gases dissolved in body fluids are released as bubbles.
12 12 12 Henry s Law Evolved Gas Disorders The amount of gas dissolved in solution is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the solution. The Bends N2 bubbles become trapped in the joints. Onset is mild, but eventually painful! Evolved Gas Disorders Evolved Gas Disorders Paresthesia N2 bubbles form along nerve tracts. Tingling and itchy sensation and possibly a mottled red rash. The Chokes N2 bubbles block smaller pulmonary vessels. Burning sensation in sternum. Uncontrollable desire to cough. Sense of suffocation ensues. Evolved Gas Disorders Evolved gas factors CNS N2 bubbles affect spinal cord. Visual disturbances, paralysis, one sided tingling. Rate of ascent Altitude Body fat content Age Exercise Duration of exposure Repeated exposure

Compression greater than 1 atmosphere (absolute). Altitude Restrictions and Oxygen Requirements Altitude Restrictions and Oxygen Requirements Unpressurized 14,000 Supplemental Oxygen Required 25, Min Total 12,000 10,000 Crew O2 masks readily available 1 Hour Total Pressurized If pressurization is lost above 14,000, an immediate descent will be made to a cabin pressure altitude of 10,000 or below. Then unpressurized restrictions apply 10 Min Supply of O2 for all occupants 14,000 10,000 Maintain Cabin PA at or below 10,000 Flight Restrictions Due to Exogenous Factors Flying duty is prohibited for 24 hours after SCUBA diving Aircrew members will not be regular blood donors. After blood donation, aircrew members will be restricted from flying for 72 hours Conclusion The challenge is NOT to be innovative in a crisis. The challenge is to be well-trained and well-disciplined enough to FOLLOW THE RULES! Performance of flying duty is prohibited for 12 hours after any altitude chamber flight

Breathing rate is regulated by blood ph and C02 breathing reduces plasma [CO2]; plasma [CO2] increases breathing. When C02 levels are high, breating rate increases to blow off C02 In low C02 conditions,
