Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hyperbaric oxygen: a new drug in myocardial revascularization and protection?
Abstract: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs following coronary artery revascularization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of this injury. However, the evidence for this is inconclusive....
AIRFIX: the first digital postoperative chest tube airflowmetry–a novel method to quantify air leakage after lung resection.
Abstract: Prolonged air leak after pulmonary resection is a common complication and a major limiting factor for early discharge from hospital. Currently there is little consensus on its management. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate...
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy effective for the management of chronic wounds?
Abstract: Gray, Ratliff, , , , , , , (). Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy effective for the management of chronic wounds? Journal of wound, ostomy, and continence nursing : official publication of The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society,...
Therapies for necrotising fasciitis.
Abstract: Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but life-threatening infectious disease emergency. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are common, and mortality rates often exceed 30%. Successful management of this disease requires high clinical suspicion...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may improve symptoms in autistic children.
Abstract: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that currently affects as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Recent research has discovered that some autistic individuals have decreased cerebral perfusion, evidence of...
Myocardial injury and long-term mortality following moderate to severe carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a common cause of toxicological morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury is a frequent consequence of moderate to severe CO poisoning. While the in-hospital mortality for these patients is low, the...

[Oxygen and wound healing].
Abstract: It has long been recognized that normal healing is dependent on the oxygen gradient in the wound Hypoxia can slow or arrest the healing process and augments the risk of infection. While hypoxia triggers neoangiogenesis, normal tissue...
