Abstract: A previous nonblinded study has suggested beneficial effects from hyperbaric oxygen treatment of superficial partial-thickness radiation burns in human volunteers. This protocol was designed to either confirm or challenge these previous findings in a...

Haemodynamic monitoring during alkalinized lignocaine epidural block: a comparison with subarachnoid anaesthesia.
Abstract: Cardiovascular responses after epidural alkalinized lignocaine and subarachnoid hyperbaric bupivacaine administration were studied using a non-invasive cardiac output measurement in 32 ASA Grade I-II patients undergoing orthopaedic leg surgery (hip...
Isotope brain scanning with Tc-HMPAO: a predictor of outcome in carbon monoxide poisoning?
Abstract: Tc-HMPAO isotope brain scans were performed in three patients who received hyperbaric oxygen treatment following carbon monoxide poisoning. Cerebral perfusion imaging provides an index of severity of the initial cerebral damage which correlated with outcome....
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on a burn wound model in human volunteers.
Abstract: A previous nonblinded study has suggested beneficial effects from hyperbaric oxygen treatment of superficial partial-thickness radiation burns in human volunteers. This protocol was designed to either confirm or challenge these previous findings in a...
Wound healing management: enhancing patient outcomes and reducing costs.
Abstract: Biomedical technology as applied to wound healing management allows specific evaluations of the oxygen-related pathophysiology of non-healing wounds. In many of these cases the use of transcutaneous oxygen mapping of the skin and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...
Peripheral neurologic deficits in relation to subarachnoid or epidural administration of local anesthetics for surgery. A survey of 21 cases.
Abstract: Recent case reports have suggested that subarachnoid or epidural administration of local anesthetics may cause peripheral neurologic deficits. To describe the course and evaluate possible risk factors of such reactions, 21 reports in the Swedish adverse drug...
Treatment of hypotension after hyperbaric tetracaine spinal anesthesia. A randomized, double-blind, cross-over comparison of phenylephrine and epinephrine.
Abstract: Despite many advantages, spinal anesthesia often is followed by undesirable decreases in blood pressure, for which the ideal treatment remains controversial. Because spinal anesthesia-induced sympathectomy and management with a pure alpha-adrenergic agonist...
Spinal anesthesia with clonidine and bupivacaine in young humans: interactions and effects on the cardiovascular system.
Abstract: Clonidine, an alpha 2 agonist, is known to prolong the action of local anesthetics, and to provide a satisfactory analgesia; hypotension and bradycardia have been observed after its intrathecal administration. The aim of our study was to determine whether...
Scuba decompression illness and diving fatalities in an overseas military community.
Abstract: A retrospective study of scuba decompression illness (DCI) and fatalities in the U.S. military community on Okinawa Island, Japan, was performed for 1989-95. Some 94 cases of diving DCI, including 10 cases of cerebral air-gas embolism (CAGE), and 9 diving...
