Hypoxia Experiment

[Chuck_Northrup]

ID,

I would not try to read too much into the scientific value of this experiment

I think ghosch is on the right track, we put the "subject" on the loop (with no flushes) right away. The first minute consisted mostly of the loop reaching homeostasis. Obviously there was more disolved nitrogen in the divers body than the loop.

Jon,

We were using the finger type oximiter, I can see why an oximiter closer to the brain would be more accurate.

With regards to the black out, the "subject" in the experiment was about as "average" a test sample as you could have. I think a person who trained under hypoxic situations (free divers/Lance Armstrong) would have a better tolerance for that phenomenon. ???
