Age-related changes in the epiglottis causing failure of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Abstract: At 65 years of age, a former coal miner, now 72-years-old, developed a progressive loss of concentration with daytime sleepiness and sleep disturbances. Work-up in pneumological and medical sleep centres resulted in diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary...
Does hyperbaric oxygen enhance the effect of photodynamic therapy in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma? A clinical pilot study.
Abstract: Experimental studies have shown that the cytotoxicity of porphyrins and related substances is mediated mainly by singlet oxygen and that hypoxic cells are less affected by porphyrins and light. In a clinical pilot study we assessed the use of photodynamic...

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...
[Continuous spinal anesthesia in very elderly patients with high anesthesia risk in traumatologic-orthopedic and general surgery interventions].
Abstract: Continuous spinal anaesthesia (CSA) was carried out via a 28-gauge spinal catheter in 154 surgical patients at the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care at Radeberg Asklepios-ASB Hospital between May 1992 and March 1999. The method was used...
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,...
