Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Massive air embolism as a complication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: A case report illustrating a stroke mimic, literature review, and suggested management.
Abstract: Cerebral air embolism should be considered in case of stroke symptoms during any invasive procedure. Transport to a hospital with neurosurgical/hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) facility could improve the outcome for the patient. Absence...
The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Functional Impairments Caused by Ischemic Stroke.
While research suggests a benefit of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for neurologic injury, controlled clinical trials have not been able to clearly define the benefits. To investigate the effects of HBOT on physical and cognitive impairments resulting from an ischemic stroke. Using a within-subject design a baseline for current functional abilities was established over a 3-month period for all subjects (n=7). Each subject then received two 4-week periods of HBOT for a total of 40 90-minute treatments over a 12-week period. Subjects completed a battery of assessments and had blood drawn six times over the 9-month total duration of the study.
