Hyperbaric oxygen in the prevention of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws.
Abstract: Patients who have had their jaws irradiated as part of management of head and neck malignancy are at risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) following tooth extraction. Thirty-seven patients with a history of irradiation to the jaws were managed during a four year...
Differential lung ventilation and emergency hyperbaric oxygenation for repair of a tracheal tear.
Abstract: To report the anaesthetic management of a case of tracheal rupture, using different types of ventilation and additional hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). An 8 cm postintubation tracheal tear was repaired in a 66-yr-old woman with acute myocardial reinfarction,...
The treatment of chronic radiation proctitis with hyperbaric oxygen in patients with prostate cancer.
Abstract: Kitta, Shinohara, Shirato, Otsuka, Koyanagi, , , , (2000). The treatment of chronic radiation proctitis with hyperbaric oxygen in patients with prostate cancer. BJU international, 2000 Feb;85(3):372-4. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10671898
The effect of external beam irradiation after endoscopic palliation of esophageal carcinoma.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to verify the value of additional external beam irradiation (EBR) after endoscopic palliation, regarding quality of life and survival rate. From January 1988 to December 1995, 99 patients with esophageal carcinoma (squamous cell...
Dynamic MR imaging of mandibular osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrotic bone has been characterised as hypovascular and metabolically inactive tissue with impaired perfusion. The present study was conducted to determine if dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging could provide additional information about the...
Carcinoma of the cervix and the use of hyperbaric oxygen with radiotherapy: a report of a randomised controlled trial.
Abstract: A randomised controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen in the radiotherapy of Stage IIb and III carcinoma of cervix was performed between 1971 and 1980. Apart from an abstract giving an interim report in 1977, results have not been published. In a four arm...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment and pulmonary function.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment exposes the lungs to the potentially toxic effect of free oxygen radicals and may lead to impairment of pulmonary function. HBO2 significantly improves wound healing in patients with osteoradionecrosis of the mandible...
Preservation of tumour oxygen after hyperbaric oxygenation monitored by magnetic resonance imaging.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been proposed to reduce tumour hypoxia by increasing the dissolved molecular oxygen in tissue. Using a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, we monitored the changes in MRI signal intensity after HBO exposure...
