Saturated Tissue State
Description
Computes the amount of inert gas in each compartment of a diver who has reached equilibrium with the breathing gas at the specified depth. The default is a fresh diver with no diving history.
Usage
saturated.state(model="D", depth = 0, g = air)
Arguments
model |
The decompression model. An object of class |
depth |
The diving depth at which saturation is achieved. A single number. |
g |
The breathing gas. An object of class |
Details
A Haldane-type decompression model describes the diver's body as a set of independent compartments connected directly to the breathing gas and governed by classical diffusion.
This command computes the amount of inert gas in each compartment of a diver who has reached equilibrium with the breathing gas at the specified depth.
The default is a fresh diver (in equilibrium with air at the surface at sea level).
Value
A data frame, with one row for each compartment of the model,
and one column for each inert gas in the model (N2 and/or
He). Entries in the data frame are tissue tensions in ata.
