This study reports the incidence of decompression sickness (DCS) occurring in U.S. Navy altitude chambers in association with physiological training of aircrews for the 7-year period from 1 October 1981 to 30 September 1988. There were 140 total cases of DCS in 136,696 chamber exposure, an incidence of 0.10%. Among trainees, there were 78 cases in 111,674 exposures, and incidence of 0.07%. Among inside observers, there were 62 cases in 25,022 exposures and incidence of 0.25%. The incidence of DCS among inside observers was reduced almost two-fold over the last Navy report and is the lowest reported since 1973. Reasons for the reduction are discussed. In addition, analysis of the data includes types of DCS, symptoms, frequency of joint involvement, predisposing factors, altitude and time of onset of DCS, and treatment tables employed.
本研究报告了1981年10月1日至1988年9月30日这7年期间,美国海军高空舱内与空勤人员生理训练相关的减压病(DCS)发病率。在136,696次舱内暴露中,共有140例DCS病例,发病率为0.10%。在受训人员中,111,674次暴露中有78例,发病率为0.07%。在舱内观察员中,25,022次暴露中有62例,发病率为0.25%。舱内观察员的DCS发病率比海军上一份报告降低了近两倍,是1973年以来报告的最低发病率。文中讨论了发病率降低的原因。此外,数据分析包括DCS的类型、症状、关节受累频率、诱发因素、DCS发病的海拔高度和时间,以及所采用的治疗表。
