QUESTION
The Signs and Symptoms of DCS Do Not Vary and Can Be Easily Identified No Matter The
Injury or Severity of The Case (T/F)
Answer:
False
QUESTION
Central nervous system toxicity
Answer:
CNS toxicity can result from relatively short exposures to high partial pressures of oxygen.
QUESTION
The other type is called pulmonary toxicity or whole body toxicity
Answer:
Pulmonary toxicity results from prolonged exposure to elevated partial pressures of oxygen
(above about 0.5 atmosphere). As the name implies, its most pronounced effects are on the lungs,
producing signs and symptoms such as chest tightness, breathing discomfort and pain, shortness
of breath, and coughing. Development of pulmonary toxicity requires long-term exposures such
as encountered in saturation diving, certain military and commercial diving, or recompression
chamber treatment.
QUESTION
Pulmonary toxicity is not a concern of the recreational nitrox diver; CNS toxicity is a concern.
