Do atmospheric conditions influence the first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax?
OBJECTIVES Several studies suggest that changes in airway pressure may influence the onset of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of atmospheric changes on the onset of the first episode of PSP. METHODS We retrospectively analysed cases of pneumothorax admitted to our department between 1 January 2009 and 31 October 2013. Patients wit...
متن کاملThe best treatment for the first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax: an unanswered question.
I read with great interest the study by TSCHOPP et al. [1]. They compared in a multicentre randomised study two groups of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), in order to study the recurrence rate, the side-effects (mainly the pain) and the cost of two treatment modalities, thoracoscopic talcage (TT) or pleural drainage (PD). They found that, after 5 yrs of follow-up, 34% of PS...
متن کاملInfluence of atmospheric pressure on the incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax.
BACKGROUND This study analyses the relationship between the incidence of idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax (ISP) and atmospheric pressure (AP). METHODS A total of 288 cases of ISP were included, 229 men and 59 women. The AP of the day of diagnosis, of the 3 prior days and the monthly average was registered. The association between the incidence of ISP and AP was analyzed by calculating stan...
متن کامل[Usefulness of computed tomography in determining risk of recurrence after a first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax: therapeutic implications].
OBJECTIVE The main cause of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is the rupture of subpleural blebs or bullae. The presence of bullae may also lead to an increased risk of recurrence. The best way to detect them is by means of computed tomography (CT). Our objective in the present study was to determine whether bullae detected by CT represent an increased risk of recurrence after a first episode of...
متن کاملRecurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
BACKGROUND Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a common clinical problem and its incidence is thought to be increasing. The risk of recurrence is high and various studies quote rates of 20-60%. Factors which may or may not predispose to recurrence have not yet been established. METHODS In a study period of four years 291 cases with a diagnosis of pneumothorax were reviewed; 153 patients...
