Tissue data from Bookspan's book
Description
Data for several decompression models
of Haldane type, giving the tissue halftimes for Nitrogen
and the M-values (maximum tolerated partial pressure of Nitrogen
for surfacing).
Format
The dataset Bookspan is a list with the following entries:
- Halftimes
Halftimes data. A list with entries
Haldane halftimes for Haldane's original model
USN halftimes for US Navy original model
DSAT halftimes for DSAT model
OrcaEdge halftimes for OrcaEdge computer
MicroBrain halftimes for MicroBrain computer
ZHL12 halftimes for ZH-L12 model
- Mvalues.ata
surfacing M-values in ata (atmospheres absolute).
A list with entries
Haldane M-values for Haldane's original model
USN M-values for US Navy original model
DSAT M-values for DSAT model
- Mvalues.fsw
surfacing M-values in fsw (feet of seawater).
A list with the same structure as Mvalues.fsw.
Details
Bookspan (1995) tabulates the parameters of several different
decompression models of the classical Haldane type.
The basic parameters for such a model are
- halftimes:
the Nitrogen diffusion halftime (in minutes)
for each tissue in the model
- M-values:
the maximum partial pressure of Nitrogen
in each tissue which would be tolerated without symptoms
at an ambient pressure of 1 atmosphere (the “surfacing
M-value”).
The data tabulated in Bookspan (1995, page 16) purportedly give the halftimes
for Haldane's original model, the original US Navy model,
the DSAT model (basis of PADI repetitive dive planner),
the OrcaEdge, MicroBrain and Aladin dive computers,
and the Buehlmann ZH-L12 model.
The data tabulated in Bookspan (1995, page 23) give the corresponding
M-values (in fsw) for the US Navy and DSAT models only.
These parameters are all contained in the dataset Bookspan.
