During the period 1970-80, there were 58 cases of decompression sickness in one of its forms reported in USAF aircrewmen. These cases occurred in a number of different types of aircraft in which cabin/cockpit depressurization occurred either intentionally (because of operational requirements) or because of mechanical malfunction. The most common manifestation of decompression sickness was bends, although some airmen experienced various degrees of neurological dysfunction. Even though none of the aircraft was lost or damaged due to crew incapacitation, the threat was clearly there. The authors briefly review decompression sickness including prevention, treatment, and aeromedical disposition.
在1970年至1980年期间，美国空军空勤人员报告了58例某种形式的减压病病例。这些病例发生在多种不同类型的飞机上，其中机舱/驾驶舱减压是有意发生的（由于作战需求）或由于机械故障。减压病最常见的表现是减压病性关节痛，尽管一些飞行员经历了不同程度的神经功能障碍。尽管没有一架飞机因机组人员丧失能力而损失或受损，但威胁显然存在。作者简要回顾了减压病，包括预防、治疗和航空医疗处置。
