Assessment of the Risk of Central Oxygen Toxicity

Whilst investigating¹ the impact of combat operations and air transport on the safety of combat divers, a problem arose concerning the various methods of assessing the probability of the risk of developing the neurological form of oxygen toxicity CNSyn.

Most commonly, computer software used for the safe assessment and monitoring of the diving process² relies on reference to NOAA tables. An interesting alternative approach, particularly in combat missions, is to base the assessment of the risk of CNSyn on models derived from survival analysis.
