- Abstract
The models used to describe the kinetics of inert gases during underwater diving are inadequate. Medical practitioners and scientists interested in such diving have attempted to quantitatively describe the behaviour of nitrogen in compressed air diving since 1908, with little success. The problems encountered during this diving research are relevant to anaesthesia theory and practice.
