Collected Database of Non-Saturation Porcine Dives (Air and Mixed-Gas)

Abstract

Animal models of decompression sickness (DCS) have been developed in various species. The Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) developed a porcine model of DCS through the course of more than 300 dives, encompassing widely diverse dive profiles on air and mixed-gas. Some of these profiles include decompression stops, some do not; some profiles include post-dive treatments and others do not. This report provides the collected database of non-saturation porcine dives undertaken to develop the NMRI porcine DCS model. It correlates the dive profiles with summaries of the various observed outcome measures.
