Thanks Todd,

Because of the possibilities of a pneumothorax is why the lungs where

immediately checked, but again everyone wanting to play Doctor with an

opinion would not know this! Amazing someone thought this was an

unnecessary step in our procedure? from a so called " foot Doctor " I

refer to him as Dr. S. Starinski, DPM, MS, CWS professor of Biology

and is ACLS / CHT certified. more then qualified I would think yes?

Aaaauuuugggghhhh! That was supposed to say " MISLEADING in my post " .

I was misleading in my original post. Decompressing a chamber if

someone is holding their breath would be VERY bad. My original post

was incorrect in several ways and I am glad I have been corrected.

My second post was supposed to fix the first and I made a typo

error. Man, oh, man, I think I'll just stay out of this one now and

let the experts handle it!
