Exposure to high-pressure jet - what does this mean

Exposure to high-pressure jet can cause barotrauma, a type of physical trauma caused by a difference in pressure between a gas-filled space inside the body and the surrounding environment. this can lead to the rupture of air-filled organs such as the lungs, ears, and sinuses. symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, headaches, hearing loss, and pain in the affected area.

What happens during the disease - exposure to high-pressure jet

Exposure to high-pressure jet can cause a number of physical injuries, including tissue damage, lacerations, and fractures. the high-pressure jet can also cause air embolisms, where air bubbles enter the bloodstream and cause blockages in the vessels. in addition, the high-pressure jet can cause trauma to the skin and underlying tissue, leading to infection and inflammation. in extreme cases, exposure to high-pressure jet can lead to organ failure and death.
