Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a method of treatment of laryngeal and pharyngeal radionecrosis].
Abstract: The authors described two cases of palatine tonsil carcinoma treated with surgery and subsequent radiation therapy after which occurred severe radionecrosis of the larynx, pharynx and oral cavity. These subjects were treated with...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in deep frostbite of both hands in a boy.
Abstract: An 11-year-old boy in good general health conditions suffered deep frostbite on six fingers while he was working without gloves as a beater during a hunt in Poland at an outdoor temperature of -32 degrees C over a 4 h-period. Three days...
Photodynamic therapy enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen in acute endoluminal palliation of malignant bronchial stenosis (clinical pilot study in 40 patients).
Abstract: Photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT) is based upon a photochemical reaction that is limited by the availability of molecular oxygen in the target tissue. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) increases the amount of oxygen available for the...
Critical Limb Ischemia.
Abstract: Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) present with ischemic rest pain or with tissue loss. Tissue loss, in its mildest presentation, includes focal ischemic ulceration or nonhealing wounds. Gangrene is the manifestation of severe...

[Headache secondary to carbon monoxide poisoning].
Abstract: Chronic intoxication due to carbon monoxide (CO) is a condition in which the frequency is underestimated since the clinical features are nonspecific. It is important since serious neurological sequelae may result: an extrapyramidal...
Cardiac output changes during hyperbaric hyperoxia.
Abstract: Increased ambient pressure and oxygen partial pressure (pO2) influence cardiovascular regulation during diving and caisson work. We measured the cardiac output (Q) in subjects who practiced moderate work at a usual diving depth of 30 m....
[Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe often life threatening bacterial infection. There are 2 main reasons to use hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2): the polymorphism of the bacterial flora with a predominance of anaerobes, either strict or...
[Management of necrotizing cellulitis and fasciitis].
Abstract: A literature review did not reveal any controlled study on the management of necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment protocol includes: - an immediate or early surgical management with debridement of all necrotic tissue and extensive fasciotomy...
[The therapeutic approach to necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis are characterized by the necrosis of fascias, and their severe consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. An early diagnosis, based on sometimes subtle cutaneous lesions (associated to a sepsis syndrome)...
