The physiological effects of prolonged decompressions, which simulate the loss of cabin pressure resulting from small structural failures in the cabin of a transport aircraft operating at high altitude have been studied in the baboon (Papio cynocephalus). Three profiles were investigated which simulated decompressions arising from 4 in, 6 in and 8 in diameter defects in a cabin of a hypothetical aircraft. The nature and significance of the neurological disturbances following these decompressions are discussed. (Author)
