Rebreather divers’ responses to hyperalkaline hydroxide ingestion and aspiration (‘caustic cocktail’) events
Introduction/Background: Rebreathers recycle exhaled air using soda-lime scrubber material to remove carbon-dioxide and injecting oxygen into the normally closed breathing loop. When water enters the system, it generates a hyperalkaline hydroxide solution, commonly known as a “caustic cocktail”. Un...
