Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Delayed and multiple hyperbaric oxygen treatments expand therapeutic window in rat focal cerebral ischemic model.
Abstract: Although the brain-protective effect of single, early applications of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been reported in acute ischemic stroke models, few studies have reported the long-term effect--especially after multiple HBO applications....
[Effects of increasing spinal hyperbaric lidocaine concentrations on spinal cord and meninges: experimental study in dogs].
Abstract: Lidocaine concentration potentially able to determine nervous tissue injury is still not well established. This study aimed at investigating the effect of increasing spinal lidocaine concentrations in single injection through Quincke...
Treatment of a radiation-induced rectal ulcer with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a man with prostate cancer.
Abstract: Late radiation proctopathy is a painful and vexing complication of prostate radiation. We report a case of a 55-year-old man with prostate cancer, and complaints of tenesmus and severe rectal pain after radiation therapy. The patient was...

A comparison of hyperbaric oxygen versus hypoxic cerebral preconditioning in neonatal rats.
Abstract: The potency of hyperbaric preconditioning (HBO-PC) is uncertain compared to well-validated ischemic or hypoxic models and no studies have directly compared HBO-PC to hypoxic preconditioning (HPC). We subjected rat pups to unilateral...
UHMS position statement: topical oxygen for chronic wounds.
Abstract: A small body of literature has been published reporting the application of topical oxygen for chronic non-healing wounds . Frequently, and erroneously, this form of oxygen administration has been referred to as "topical hyperbaric...
Oxygen: from the benefits of inducing VEGF expression to managing the risk of hyperbaric stress.
Abstract: Hypoxia limits wound healing. Both normobaric (1 atm) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) approaches have been used clinically to oxygenate wound tissue. Recently, we reported that HBO ameliorates stress-induced impairment of dermal healing. We...
Double-blind randomised phase II study of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with radiation-induced brachial plexopathy.
Abstract: Yarnold, , , , , , , , (2005). Double-blind randomised phase II study of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with radiation-induced brachial plexopathy. Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and...
