简要总结
The goal of this trial is to investigate whether adding a small fraction of hydrogen gas to an oxygen-enriched breathing mixture can reduce pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT) in healthy and active divers from the Swedish Armed Forces. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does hydrogen gas reduce oxidative stress and changes in pulmonary function associated with prolonged hyperbaric oxygen exposure?
- What are the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of pulmonary oxygen toxicity?
Researchers will compare oxygen-enriched breathing gas with 1-2% hydrogen to oxygen-enriched gas with 1-2% nitrogen (control) to see if hydrogen provides protective effects against POT during hyperbaric exposure.
Participants will:
- Complete two hyperbaric exposure sessions (hydrogen vs. nitrogen), each lasting 240 minutes at 1.75 ATA
- Undergo pulmonary function tests and sampling of blod and urin before and after each session
- Serve as their own controls in a double-blind, randomized, crossover study design
