Abstract:
Objective To optimize the application principles of gradient factors(GFs) in decompression algorithm by analyzing its law of regulation.Methods The saturated value of compartments was listed and the limits of decompression were calculated to evaluate the effect of GFs on safety and efficiency of decompression.The anchor point of GFs was changed.Results and Conclusion A higher GF was recommended in shallow and short dives, while in deep and long dives a moderate low GF and decompression by oxygen was preferred.The modification of the anchor points of GFs can increase the risk of decompression sickness and should be used with caution.
