What will happen to humans in outer space in 90 seconds?

If a person suddenly finds himself in an almost airless space of outer space, then he will have about 90 seconds to live. What will happen to him during this time?



For the first 15-20 seconds, a person remains conscious, he feels moisture evaporate from the tongue and skin, as if he sweats a lot.









Possible attacks of nausea and vomiting, because gases from the gastrointestinal tract quickly go out.

Blood pressure and heart rate immediately increases, and then slowly falls. But venous pressure inexorably increases as gas bubbles form in the body.

The human body swells and can become twice as big as usual. As a result, the skin is stretched. This occurs as a result of the fact that the liquid in the soft tissues goes into a gaseous state. However, the skin is strong enough to withstand this pressure. So you don't get torn apart, you just swell up like a balloon.









With tea, the body pushes steam through the nose and mouth, and the fluid contained in the body shrinks, the person begins to freeze. The mouth and tongue become icy.

The skin becomes a bluish-purple hue due to lack of oxygen.

After 90 seconds, when the blood pressure reaches 47 torr, the blood boils and the heart gradually stops. This process is irreversible.

If you hold your breath or try to prevent air from leaving during decompression, an increase in intrapulmonary pressure can cause lung ruptures and destruction of capillaries.
