Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for necrotizing soft tissue infections: contra].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is discussed as an adjuvant option to treat necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). While the Federal Joint Committee decided in 2007 not to support HBOT for the indication necrotizing fasciitis and...
Wound healing: the evidence for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: This article reviews evidence for the promotion of healing using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT is an adjuvant wound therapy that has been suggested to be beneficial for the healing of wounds for over 40 years. Current approved...
Characterization of early thermal burns and the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment: a pilot study.
Abstract: Studies investigating hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) to improve outcome in burns have been inconclusive. In this study, we aimed to characterize early thermal burns injury in adult patients with < 40% total body surface area (TBSA)...
Long course hyperbaric oxygen stimulates neurogenesis and attenuates inflammation after ischemic stroke.
Abstract: Several studies have provided evidence with regard to the neuroprotection benefits of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in cases of stroke, and HBO also promotes bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and mobilization. This study...
Bilateral brachial plexus injury following acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is a leading cause of severe neuropsychological impairments. Peripheral nerve injury has rarely been reported. It consists usually in a demyelinating polyneuropathy or mononeuropathy affecting mainly the...
Potential therapeutic effects of hyperbaric oxygen for improving cosmetic outcomes in skin grafts.
Abstract: Long, Wang, , , , , , , (2013). Potential therapeutic effects of hyperbaric oxygen for improving cosmetic outcomes in skin grafts. Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries, 2013...
A favourable response to surgical intervention and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in pyoderma gangrenosum.
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterised with ulcerations. Inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) and haematologic diseases (leukaemia, preleukaemia and monoclonal gammopathy) have been reported in about 40-50% of PG patients in whom the treatment of the underlying disease is important for the improvement of the lesions. We herein report a colorectal adenocarcinoma patient with PG, who responded partially to topical treatments and systemic immunosuppressants and healed completely with the aid of surgical wound repair and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation for necrotizing soft tissue infections: pro].
Abstract: Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a complex pathological spectrum of symptoms and result in a significantly increased risk of mortality depending on the degree of dissemination as well as the underlying bacterial infection....
