Pregnant hamsters were exposed to 7.1 ATA (200 fsw) of compressed air breathing for 40 min. Comparisons were made between three groups of pregnant hamsters: (a) those that developed decompression sickness (DCS); (b) those that did not; and (c) a control (non-divided) group. As reported previously, maternal DCS if untreated resulted in frequent and severe teratogenic effects. Furthermore, fetuses from those females who apparently did not develop DCS were significantly smaller at term than fetuses from the control animals. However, fetuses from females that were treated for DCS did not differ from controls. This suggests that 40-min, 200-fsw dives per se are detrimental to fetal development in hamsters.
将怀孕的仓鼠置于7.1ATA（200英尺海水深度）的压缩空气环境中呼吸40分钟。对三组怀孕仓鼠进行了比较：（a）患减压病（DCS）的仓鼠；（b）未患减压病的仓鼠；（c）对照组（未分组）仓鼠。如先前报道，母体减压病若不治疗会导致频繁且严重的致畸效应。此外，那些显然未患减压病的雌性仓鼠所产胎儿在足月时明显小于对照组动物所产胎儿。然而，接受减压病治疗的雌性仓鼠所产胎儿与对照组并无差异。这表明，在仓鼠中，每次200英尺海水深度、40分钟的潜水本身对胎儿发育有害。
