Other effects of air pressure and water pressure - what does this mean
Air and water pressure can cause a variety of medical issues, including barotrauma, decompression sickness, and arterial gas embolism. barotrauma is caused by a rapid change in air or water pressure, which can lead to tissue damage and pain. decompression sickness occurs when a person is exposed to a decrease in external pressure, leading to gas bubbles forming in the body. arterial gas embolism is a life-threatening condition that occurs when air bubbles enter the bloodstream, blocking blood vessels and leading to tissue damage.
What happens during the disease - other effects of air pressure and water pressure
The pathogenesis of the effects of air and water pressure on the body is related to changes in the body's ability to absorb and distribute oxygen. when air pressure is low, the body's ability to absorb oxygen is decreased, leading to hypoxia and a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood. when water pressure is high, the body's ability to distribute oxygen is decreased, leading to an increase in oxygen levels in the blood. both of these changes can lead to a variety of medical issues, including fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
