This is just a definition of a phenomenon dealt with in the decompression sickness articles. It should be transwikified. JFW | T@lk 21:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pilots and astronauts consume excessive amounts of salt

The first citation does not support the claim that "pilots and astronauts consume excessive amounts of salt". The second citation merely reiterates the well-known fact that adding salt to water raises its boiling point slightly. It is WP:SYNTH to assume that consuming excessive amounts of salt will raise the boiling point of the blood. In any case, ebullism is caused by dissolved gasses coming out of solution as the pressure reduces, not by the blood boiling. I'm going to remove this paragraph unless a source can be found to support its assertions. --RexxS (talk) 16:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The solubility of a gas in a liquid changes with pressure. Excess consumption of salt alters blood pressure.

Also that is why you use other inert breathing gases to eliminate or reduce dissolved gases in the blood.

Yes Henry's Law is well-known, as is the fact that some people experience raised blood pressure as a result of excessive salt intake. The Nitrox and Decompression sickness articles contain the information on increasing the fraction of oxygen to reduce dissolved gasses in the blood. We have articles on Trimix, Heliox, Hydrox, Argox and Hydreliox that will explain to you the use of other inert gases under pressure - none of them are used to "eliminate or reduce dissolved gases in the blood".

But where is the evidence that "pilots and astronauts consume excessive amounts of salt"? I'll take out that unsupported claim until a citation is found. --RexxS (talk) 10:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Serious confusion between decompression sickness and ebullism

The definitions, mechanism and prevention of these two conditions are not the same. Ebullism is caused by vaporisation of water at lower pressures, but more quickly and more easily reversible. decompression sickness by bubble formation of dissolved gas (nitrogen). Breathing oxygen can prevent DCS by flushing out nitrogen, but will have no effect on ebullism, so some of the content is basically irrelevant or wrong. I may fix if I get around to it.

Harmonisation of reference formatting

I plan to ensure that all references use the same formatting, as recommended in the MoS. To make this easier to do and maintain I intend to convert in text reference definitions to list based references and use CS1 formatting and date formatting consistently. If anyone who has contributed significantly to the content and referencing of the article has an objection, please make a suggestion for a reasonably practicable alternative which will be equally or more effective for achieving these goals over the long term.

Polish version

I wanted to add a link to Polish version https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebulizm but got error that I'm unable to resolve or understand:

The link plwiki:Ebulizm is already used by Item Q16542740. You may remove it from Q16542740 if it does not belong there or merge the Items if they are about the exact same topic.
