Entry term(s) HPNS
síndrome nervioso de las altas presiones
síndrome neurológico experimental de altas presiones
Scope note: Síndrome relacionado con el aumento de la presión atmosférica y que se caracteriza por temblores, náuseas, mareos, disminución de las capacidades motoras y mentales y CONVULSIONES. Esta afección puede ocurrir en los que realizan inmersiones profundas (unos 300 metros) por lo general cuando respiran una mezcla de oxígeno y helio. La afección se asocia con un efecto neuroexcitante del helio.

Scope note: A syndrome related to increased atmospheric pressure and characterized by tremors, nausea, dizziness, decreased motor and mental performance, and SEIZURES. This condition may occur in those who dive deeply (c. 1000 ft) usually while breathing a mixture of oxygen and helium. The condition is associated with a neuroexcitatory effect of helium.
