Bibliographic Details
Title: Decompression death.
Authors: Raynor, David
Source: New Scientist. 11/3/2007, Vol. 196 Issue 2628, p25-26. 2p.
Subjects: Causes of death, Air pressure, Impaired oxygen delivery, Physiological effects of carbon dioxide, Executions & executioners, Gas chambers, Institutionalized persons
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: The article offers the author's views on death from the loss of air pressure or a failure of oxygen supply. He states that oxygen deprivation goes unnoticed by the victim as the stimulus to breathe is caused by levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the bloodstream, and there is no gasping for breath since the victim is exhaling normally. He cites that the process could provide a humane and cheap way to perform executions of condemned prisoners by changing the design of the old U.S. gas chambers.
