Spontaneous pneumothorax related to falls in atmospheric pressure

L Bense. Eur J Respir Dis. 1984 Oct.

Abstract

The relation of changes in atmospheric pressure to admissions due to radiologically verified spontaneous pneumothorax, was studied in 282 consecutive patients. A fall in atmospheric pressure of at least 10 mbar within 24 h was followed by a statistically significant increase in the number of admissions 2 days later.
