The decompression phase \u2014\u2014what we often call the \u201clow blood pressure\u201d or \u201cextravehicular preparation\u201d\u2014\u2014 typically takes 5 to 15 minutes. In a clinical setting, if you are using a medical single-person hard chamber with a standard treatment pressure of 2.0 to 2.4 ATA, the standard specification requires a slow reduction in pressure of approximately 1 to 2 PSI per minute. This time isn\u2019t a rigid, fixed number; it depends largely on the pressure of your treatment, the type of equipment, and, most importantly, your individual ear\u2019s ability to balance the pressure. As a technician, my first priority is to make sure you don\u2019t experience ear or sinus pain while returning to normal pressure. So, if your ears are slow to vent, I usually extend this process to 20 minutes or more, safety and comfort always come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we depressurize at a standard rate of 1 to 2 PSI per minute on the operating table, we are actually controlling the rate at which the gas in the cavity inside your body expands. In a single-person oxygen chamber, if the pressure drops too quickly, the air in the middle ear and sinuses can expand rapidly. With this slow, gentle decompression, we can ensure that your return from a high-pressure environment to normal sea level pressure is smooth and insensitive, without that sudden sting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deeper you \u201cdive\u201d, the longer the way back will naturally be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
