The condition of nitrogen narcosis (or nitrogen narcosis) is when the body experiences a shortage of oxygen and becomes severely deaf. The condition affects most divers at 60-70 meters. However, some suffer from severe hearing loss as they are breathing in air at 30-40 meters. Although symptoms do not change over time, and they remain at the same depth, they tend to increase with increasing pressures. Ascent causes symptoms to quickly reverse. We'll be looking at the causes and mechanisms of nitrogen addiction, as well its predisposing elements, in this article.
The symptoms
High blood nitrogen levels can cause nitrogen narcosis, a psychophysical condition. It is most common at dives below 30 m. However, it can also occur at lower depths. Divers should learn how to recognize these symptoms in order to seek medical attention quickly. You should seek immediate medical attention for any of the following symptoms. You should immediately contact a doctor if you experience severe symptoms of nitrogen narcosis.
Mechanisms
While the mechanism behind nitrogen narcosis has not been fully explained, it is known that its effects are similar to altitude sick. While good cardiovascular fitness does not protect against the side effects of nitrogen narcosisis, it can make the symptoms more severe. Additionally, heavy physical labor and fatigue as well as carbon dioxide retention can increase the likelihood of developing nitrogen narcosis. Use of marijuana or alcohol may also increase the severity.
Predisposing factors
Nitrogen narcosis is an extremely dangerous condition. There are several predisposing factors that may increase your risk. Whatever the reason, divers need to be aware of what they should look for and what to avoid. These factors include excessive carbon dioxide levels, fatigue, and use of narcotics. These factors shouldn't stop you from deep diving.
Judgment effects
In nitrogen narcosis, the brain functions of the patient are affected. This coma-like state is often accompanied by changes in the sense of time and handwriting. An exaggerated gait can cause problems with fine movement execution. This can be alleviated by moving slowly. You may also notice a dull look due to numbness in arms, legs, or lips.
Comorbidities
Narcotics may slow down brain functions and lead to mental confusion. Their effect is thought to be additive and synergistic. It is not known what their effect will be on carbon dioxide. It is important for you to know that both carbon dioxide as well as nitrogen can be found in your blood. There are also possible comorbidities for nitrogen narcosis. Read on to learn about these and other symptoms.
Treatment
Although symptoms of nitrogen narcosis look similar to altitude sickness there are some exceptions. You are not protected from the effects of nitrogen narcosis if you have a good cardiovascular condition. This condition can be exacerbated by fatigue, thermal cold, heavy work, or heavy work. Nitrogen narcosis is made more dangerous by carbon dioxide retention. People who are under the influence or marijuana, alcohol, or any other drugs, are particularly vulnerable to nitrogen narcosis.
