abstract="This study reports the incidence of decompression sickness occurring in U. S. Navy altitude chambers in association with physiological training of aircrews for the period 1 Jan. 1972 to 31 Dec. 1975. There were 79 cases of decompression sickness in 88,520 altitude chamber exposures, an incidence of 0.089%. Among trainees, there were 22 cases in 73,561 exposures, an incidence of 0.029%. Among chamber inside observers, there were 57 cases in 14,959 exposures, an incidence of 0.38%. This 12-fold greater incidence among inside observers over trainees was statistically significant (p less than 0.01). Reasons for the increased incidence of decompression sickness among inside observers are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
