Oxygen kit

An oxygen kit in diving serves as an essential safety device. It contains pure oxygen or a mixture with a high oxygen content and is used in emergency situations in diving-related accidents. Some important applications:

1. Treatment of decompression sickness (caisson disease)

• When a diver ascends too quickly, nitrogen bubbles can form in the blood or tissue. Providing oxygen helps break down these nitrogen bubbles and prevents further damage.

2. Treatment of oxygen deficiency (hypoxia)

• In the event of a shortage of oxygen, for example due to problems with breathing equipment, an oxygen kit can be life-saving.

3. Support for pulmonary overpressure injuries

• These can be caused by improper breathing during ascent. Oxygen improves oxygen supply to vital organs and prevents further complications.

4. In case of drowning incidents

• If a diver is near drowning, oxygen administration can help stabilize the body and minimize damage to organs from lack of oxygen.

5. First aid until medical help arrives

• An oxygen kit provides first aid until professional medical help is available, for example in a hyperbaric chamber.

It is important that divers and supervisors are properly trained in the use of an oxygen kit and that the kit is checked regularly to ensure proper functioning in emergency situations.
