Question

A 24 yr old medical student is an avid diver. She was bite on left thigh by a barracuda. Though she is an experienced diver she still panics and make a direct rush for the surface. She starts complaining of dizziness, joint pain, and a throbbing headache. Her breathing is mildly labored. Regarding respiratory physiology, how might this scenario associate with gases external and internal to the lungs and blood? Define Charles, Dalton's and Henry's laws. Explain how they relate to respiratory physiology. After you have defined the gas laws, draw some reasonable conclusion as to how they may be responsible for Carla's dilemma? What might be the cause of her symptoms? Could her symptoms also be a result of how she reacted after being bitten? What would be considered a logical treatment?

Explanation / Answer

As the pressure in to the deep sea is high and there is danger of oxygen intoxication. Which cause dizziness, headache , pain etc. Charles law is that at constant pressure , volume of gas increases as the temperature increases. Dalton 's law is that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of partial pressure of each individual gas present. Henry's law states that at constant temperature the amount of given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of gas.
