Methods: A total of 60 rabbits and 20 rats were used in this study. The process of transmission of shock waves was divided into three phases, i.e., the recompression phase (RP), the decompression phase (DP) and the underpressure phase (UP). And the recompression wave (RW), the decompression wave (DW) and the underpressure wave (UW) simulated the three phases, respectively, generated by the equipment designed by us. The RW test, DW test and UW test were respectively applied to the animals. And lung injuries caused by segmented shock waves were discussed. Results: Under the experimental conditions, the RW did not cause obvious lung injury, but the DW could cause different severities of lung injuries. The greater the decompression ranged and the shorter the decompression duration was adopted, the more severe the lung injury was observed. The UW, to some extent, could cause obvious lung injury. Conclusions: It suggests that lung injury under shock waves probably occurs during the DP primarily. It probably does not cause direct obvious lung injury during the RP, but significantly influences the capability of causing lung injury during the DP.展开更多
