Abstract: Twenty-nine patients with necrotizing fasciitis were treated from 1980 to 1988. This study evaluates how the addition of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to surgical treatment has affected mortality and the number of debridements required to achieve wound...
Abstract: The authors report a case of barotraumatic cerebral air embolism following scuba diving, in which air embolism was diagnosed by CT. This kind of disorder becomes more frequent with the greater popularity of scuba diving. A healthy 24-year old woman made a...
Abstract: 210 patients with ischemic heart disease and heart failure, stage I, HA, IIB, aged 60 to 74 years, have been examined. The effect of HBO on central hemodynamics, gas composition and acid-base balance has been assessed. It has been established that HBO is...
Abstract: The present paper discuss the development of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in the jaws. ORN is the end stage of tissue injury induced by irradiation. The most prominent etiologic factor of ORN seems to be the effect of radiation on endothelial cells lining the...

Abstract: Fasting mongrel dogs underwent hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment, and simultaneous HBOT and rt-PA treatment following prior experimental left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 2...
Abstract: Anaemia is an important factor in the response of some human tumours to radiotherapy. The outcome is also influenced by whether the treatment is given in air or high pressure oxygen (HPO). The present study examined the relationship between anaemia and...
Abstract: Decompression sickness (DCS) has been clinically classified as Type I (predominantly joint pain) or Type II (predominantly spinal cord lesions). We present 3 cases that are all characterized by severe (Type II) DCS with signs and symptoms of spinal cord...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has proven efficacious in the adjunct management of selected otolaryngologic problems: radiation therapy-induced osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone, malignant external otitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis and refractory...
