[Hypobaric nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere as a method of preventing altitude decompression sickness].

It has been shown experimentally that the development of altitude decompression disease at 250 and 180 mm Hg can be prevented by preliminary desaturation in the nitrogen-oxygen hypobaric atmosphere (60% N2 and 40% O2 at 550 mm Hg). This has been demonstrated in 38 experiments on 21 test subjects. The use of this atmosphere in space cabin prevents the development of decompression disease upon a decrease of the cabin pressure to 250 mm Hg and upon extravehicular activity in a space suit with 180--200 mm Hg.
