Capillary fragility during air exposure of man to 1-5 ATA and after decompression.

Halbreich U, Torbati D.

Capillary fragility in man during exposure to 1-5 ATA air and after decompression from these pressures was studied by means of a petechiometer. A significant increase in capillary fragility was observed at 4 and 5 ATA air and after decompression from 3, 4, and 5 ATA air to normal pressure. It is suggested that this phenomenon may be associated with impairment of neurophysiological functions detectable only by special tests.
