Criteria for bone debridement in massive lower limb trauma.
Abstract: Adequate debridement remains the most important factor in prevention of chronic sepsis in cases of massive lower limb trauma. Despite treatment with chronic antibiotics, muscle flaps, hyperbaric oxygen, and/or free-tissue transfer, failures are common due to...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the status of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in chronic circulatory insufficiency in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].
Abstract: The study performed in 54 elderly patients with first and second degree chronic heart failure (CHF) during hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has revealed normalization of plasma renin activity, possibly, associated with improved renal blood flow. HBO also...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in clinical application. A report of a 12-year experience.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has become a useful treatment in clinical diseases. All the treatment profiles (Death/Time) were performed under the safe limit of unit pulmonary toxicity dose (UPTD). Between June 1976 and December 1987, we had treated 1288 cases...

[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on fresh burn wounds].
Abstract: In an experimental study standardized third-degree burns were caused in guinea pigs. The animals were treated intermittently with hyperbaric oxygen for a period of five days starting immediately after injury. The healing process was recorded at frequent...

[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis: a review of its use and efficiency].
Abstract: In this work, the AA. speak of the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis, with particular reference to enforcement of this therapeutic technique in the mandibular necrosis caused by irradiation of tumour of cervical-facial...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on immunological parameters in multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been reported to cause amelioration of clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We have treated 10 MS patients with hyperbaric oxygen (100% O2 at 2 atmospheres absolute for 90 min daily for a total of...
[The compartment syndrome].
Abstract: The compartment syndrome is in fact secondary to intracompartmental hypertension which creates ischemia of the muscles, nerves, vessels, and anterior tibial and peroneal arteries in the leg. Described in the 19th century, the clinical picture is better known...
