Fig. 1. Ambient pressure (red broken lines), measured (solid blue circles)
(Ponganis et al., 1999) and
estimated (solid and dotted black lines) mixed venous N2 tensions
(PN2) during hyperbaric exposures to (A) 102 m,
(B) 68 m and (C) 34 m depth. Estimated PN2
assumed a blood flow distribution of 60% to central circulation, 26% to
muscle, 10% to brain and 4% to fat, as in model 0 in
Table 3 (solid lines) and 36%,
52%, 10% and 2%, respectively (dotted lines).
