I was in a lecture on Altitude and hot and cold injuries given by a expedition doc yesterday when we were demonstrated a gamov bag, a sort of transportable hyperbaric chamber powered by a hand or foot pump. Its big enough to fit two people (very cosily) inside and oxygen ect can be administered inside it. theyre reasonable portable at around seven kilos and not expensive at $2000. The current models can be pressurised to 2psi and i have two questions
1 whats that in bar at sea level?
2 could this be usefull in future for imeddiate temporary care of dcs on boats or in remote places.
thanks
