Re: Query on 'Off Effect'

You may be focussing on the wrong gas. The `Off Effect` can occur when switching from mix to air as was the norm a few years back where ccr users would do an air dil flush @40m and use air dil for rest of deco. This can cause an `off effect` resulting in IEDCS.
IEDCS = inner ear DCS due to isobaric inert gas counterdiffusion. Not the same as the off effect, as Dave said.

Its more commonly seen with victims of smoke inhalation when put on O2.
What? Explain please.
