EFFECTS OF REPEATED DECOMPRESSION OF 25 SUBJECTS TO A SIMULATED ALTITUDE OF 20,000 FEET DURING APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH,
Abstract
The repeated frequent decompression of healthy male subjects between the ages of 18 - 25 years for an extended period of time results in the production of no serious symptoms of decompression when the exposures are confined to a pressure altitude of 20,000 feet. There is no deterioration in the individual's ability to tolerate such decompressions. Since so few symptoms occurred, no adaptation was demonstrated. (Author)
