Barotrauma

[lmon]

It's weird, I don't feel like there is one post about it. Arnt people worried about this. I feel like this could be used as a suicide prevention reason bc it's so bad

What? I don't understand, are people using pressure differences as a method?

No, it's just I looked it up and no one has ever talked about it on this site. It's just something that I think would be strong enough of a deterrent to get ppl not to do it, bc it's so painful. So I was just surprised no one has talked about it yet

Wym?Barotrauma usually is caused by diving,isn't it?
how does it relate to suicide?

I think it can, or by gases

U mean barotrauma by nitrogen method?What?Nah

U mean barotrauma by nitrogen method?What

Well yeah

U mean barotrauma by nitrogen method?What?Nah

R u being sarcastic. Some google searches of it can bring up some bloody photos

No,i'm not.
I don't understand how can i get barotrauma with a plastic bag method.
I won't be able to get difference in pressure that much that will cause barotrauma.

• Decompression sickness, or "the bends," is related more to Henry's Law, which states that more gas will be dissolved in a liquid when the gas is pressurized. Because of the water pressure, body tissue absorbs nitrogen gas faster as a diver descends than when ascending to the surface. However, if a diver ascends too quickly, nitrogen gas bubbles will form in body tissue rather than being exhaled. The nitrogen bubbles cause severe pain.

Your first pic :
''In the case of incompetent use of the equipment theoretically dedicated to such suicide, death may occur not because of the suffocation, which is the most common mechanism in such cases, but because of a pressure injury of the respiratory tract, resulting in rapid damage to the alveoli in the rupture mechanism, causing massive bleeding.''

Just use it right and you won't get barotrauma

Your second pic is from ''Suicidal asphyxiation by using helium – two case reports''

The document doesn't include info about barotrauma.

Cause of death :''As the cause of death was suspected to be rapid asphyxiation due to a deficiency of oxygen in the breathing mixture, a medico-legal autopsy and toxicological tests were suggested''

Weird looking : ''The integuments of the body were brown-greenish in colour, with visible blackish marbling, epidermal blisters filled with brown putrefaction fluid and foci of epidermal necrolysis. The abdomen was slightly bloated due to the accumulation of putrefaction gases, and rigor mortis was absent in all muscle groups. Taking into account ambient temperatures at the time, it was established that death could have occurred around a week earlier''

Damn,there are so many helium reports and kinda a few nitrogen.
I assume it is so cause helium method doesn't require regulator?

Because pure helium used to be very easy to get. Now it's all diluted with oxygen.
