The content of carbon dioxide in the chambers of the burning department depends on the volume of the air environment
Abstract
According to the results of 1957 studies, the minimum concentration of carbon dioxide in the air of the burn chamber was 541 cm3/m3, the maximum – 2351 cm3/m3, with an average monthly indicator of 950±7 cm3/m3. In some months of the year the air saturation with carbon dioxide varied: in July and August it remained the smallest (752±13 cm3/m3 and 758±9 cm3/m3, respectively), and from November to February – the highest (from 1059±24 cm3/m3 up to 1084±25 cm3/m3). The average content of carbon dioxide was increased during the heating season (October-April) in comparison with the warm season (May-September), amounting to 879±9 cm3/m3 and 786±8 cm3/m3, respectively. The gas concentration was different in the chambers with different air volume per patient: the lower it was, the higher the CO2 content was 1061±9 cm3/m3 with an air volume of 13,4 m3, 957±16 cm3/m3with a volume of 17,4 m3, 686±6 cm3/m3 and 686±7 cm3/m3 for volumes of 31,4 m3 and 51,8 m3, respectively.
