CFRN: Flight Physiology (2023/2024) Already Passed What is Boyle's Law? Boyle's Balloon Balloon expands as rises 2/2 less pressure against it. Think of things ABOVE sea-level Closer to sea-level, more barometric pressure. Gas volumes expands as barometric pressure ↓ Temperature is the same What are the common medical problems associated with Boyle's law? ~Arterial gas embolism (needs to be in a pressurized aircraft) ~pneumocephalus 2/2 depressed skull Fx ~Barotitis Media (middle ear) ~Bar...
