众所周知，外压力的变化是造成潜水事故的主要因素之一。造成深度麻醉、肺破裂和减压病等情况的机制是已知的或正在调查中。然而，许多事故不能用传统的跳水危险来解释。这篇论文关注的是对压力变化的反应，迄今为止，这种反应在很大程度上被忽视了，是此类事故的潜在原因。虽然早在1896年Alt和1909年Keays就发表了关于暴露于压力增加的环境结束时发生眩晕的报告，但在迷路功能或潜水医学的文献中很少有关于这一主题的报道。Fields（1958）报告了四个与潜水后浮出水面有关的短暂眩晕病例，Coles和Knight（1961）记录了三个与海军潜水员清理耳朵有关的病例。Rowe（1961）也提到潜水员可能会出现眩晕，并报道了一个病例，但没有讨论具体原因。
It is well known that the change in external pressure is one of the major factors in diving accidents. The mechanisms by which this creates such conditions as depth narcosis, rupture of the lung, and decompression sickness are either known or under investigation. Nevertheless, many accidents cannot be explained in terms of classical diving hazards. This paper concerns a reaction to pressure change that has hitherto been largely overlooked as a potential cause of such accidents. Although reports were published as early as 1896 by Alt and in 1909 by Keays of vertigo occurring at the end of exposure to increased pressure environment, there are few accounts of this subject in the literature on labyrinthine func tion or on diving medicine. Fields (1958) reports four cases of brief vertigo in connexion with surfacing after dives, and Coles and Knight (1961) recorded three cases in connexion with Navy divers' clearing their ears. Rowe (1961) also men tions that vertigo may occur in divers, and reports one case without discussing the specific cause.
