Abstract
Summary
One hundred and ten mice were explosively decompressed to different ambient oxygen pressures and their survival time determined. A critical barometric pressure of 100 mm Hg exists below which no further reduction in survival time occurs. The pO2 at which survival no longer is dependent on oxygen pressure is therefore about 21 mm Hg. No sed difference in survival of mice was found.
