The use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of orthopedic infections and problem wounds: an overview and case reports.
Abstract: We summarize indications, contraindications, and therapeutic guidelines for the use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in problem wounds and selected orthopaedic infections. Three typical cases that all were successfully treated with HBO are...
Suspected cyanide poisoning in smoke inhalation: complications of sodium nitrite therapy.
Abstract: A 78 year old man was found comatose, apneic, and asystolic after closed-space smoke inhalation. He was successfully resuscitated to pulse and blood pressure at the scene. A cyanide component to the poisoning was suspected and two 300 mg doses of sodium...
Lipid peroxidation products in postischemic skeletal muscle and after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Earlier studies from our laboratory have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment reduces edema, enhances aerobic metabolism and improves the recovery of the phosphorylase activity in postischemic rat skeletal muscle. However, as it has become...
[Experimental animal studies of the healing of burn wounds with the use of local antimicrobials and hyperbaric O2 therapy].
Abstract: Standardized burns without experimental infection and such with infection by a constant number of bacteria of a fixed Pseudomonas-aeruginosa-strain were treated differently. Silver sulfadiazine- and Cefsulodin-cream, Polyvidon-iodine-ointment (PVP-Jod), and...
Therapeutic gain factors for fractionated radiation treatment of spontaneous murine tumors using fast neutrons, photons plus O2(1) or 3 ATA, or photons plus misonidazole.
Abstract: Therapeutic gain factors (TGFs) have been determined for three spontaneous tumors of the C3H mouse treated by photons + normobaric oxygen (O2(1) ATA), photons + hyperbaric oxygen (O2 3 ATA), photons + misonidazole, or fast neutrons. The tumors were early...

Abstract: Therapeutic gain factors (TGFs) have been determined for three spontaneous tumors of the C3H mouse treated by photons + normobaric oxygen (O2(1) ATA), photons + hyperbaric oxygen (O2 3 ATA), photons + misonidazole, or fast neutrons. The tumors were early...
Modulating the oxygen tension in tumours by hypothermia and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Hypothermia is associated with reduced metabolism of tissues and especially reduced oxygen consumption by tumours. If the blood supply to a hypothermic tumour can be maintained then the hypoxic fraction of cells should be reduced and the radiation response...
An improved method for determination of colonic mucosal proliferation: uptake of tritiated thymidine under hyperbaric oxygen conditions.
Abstract: In vitro uptake of tritiated thymidine under normal oxygen tension in standard tissue culture conditions (95% O2 and 5% CO2, 1 atm pressure) may only approximate the in vivo concentration of oxygen delivered to the colon epithelium in situ. Using standard O2...
