Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Experimental ischemic neuropathy: salvage with hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is effective in augmenting the delivery of oxygen to tissue, but also causes oxidative stress. As part of our focus on improving peripheral nerve salvage from ischemic fiber degeneration, we evaluated whether...
Aspects of neurological decompression illness: a view from Bethesda.
Abstract: A minority of divers with neurological decompression illness (DCI) fail to improve with recompression treatment. This is particularly seen in cases where features of severe spinal cord injury develop soon after surfacing. Haemorrhage into...
[Anaerobic nonclostridial soft-tissue infection].
Abstract: Over the period 1985 through 1994, observations are conducted on forty-eight patients, 35 men and 13 women, with age ranging from 11 to 56 years, presenting anaerobic non-spore-forming infection of the soft tissues (necrotizing fasciitis...
[Fournier gangrene].
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is a relatively rare, mixed aerobic and anaerobic soft tissue infection in the perineoscrotal area. Although it is convenient to give it a separate name, it is really either necrotizing fasciitis or nonclostridial...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic wounds.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen can be a useful adjuvant in the management of diabetic foot wounds when coordinated with medical-surgical management of the patient. Elevated tissue oxygen tensions improve leukocyte bacterial killing efficiency and...
Anaesthesia for coronary artery bypass surgery supplemented with subarachnoid bupivacaine and morphine: a report of 18 cases.
Abstract: We report our experience with general anaesthesia (GA) supplemented with subarachnoid bupivacaine and morphine for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in 18 patients. Fifteen patients were male, and mean age was 62 yr. Anaesthesia (GA)...
