Abstract

Abstract : This report is designed to be a reference for Aerospace Researchers and Technicians in the US Air Force who are tasked to perform altitude decompression sickness (DCS) research. It contains information about procedures, records, and equipment used in DCS research at Brooks AFB/City-Base from 1983-2005 involving over 3000 human subject exposures. Although the environmental conditions were different for each profile, the procedures used to gather and record data were standardized. The appendices provide procedural checklists and forms related to the performance of altitude DCS research.
