Reliability of the NeuroTrend sensor system under hyperbaric conditions.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to investigate the reliability of the multi-parameter sensor NeuroTrend in a hyperbaric environment for up to 3bar absolute pressure. Measurement of brain tissue oxygenation (ptiO2) under hyperbaric conditions is supposed to...
Usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to inhibit restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris.
Abstract: The purpose of this trial was to assess whether the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to percutaneous coronary intervention can reduce clinical restenosis. Major adverse cardiac events at 8 months were found in only 1 of 24 patients (4%) who received hyperbaric...
