Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of acute ischemic stroke.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy of Acute Ischemic Stroke To the Editor: We read with interest the review article by Hankey et al.1 In an attempt to assess the treatment of acute stroke with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) the authors performed a review of 3 trials. Although we agree with the statement that there is no level I data to support the use of HBO in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, we would ...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: results of the Hyperbaric Oxygen in Acute Ischemic Stroke Trial Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has promise as a treatment for acute stroke. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of using HBO in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We conducted a randomized, prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot study of 33 patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke who did not receive thrombolytics over...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: a review.
Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular disease, is a common and serious neurological disease, which is also the fourth leading cause of death in the United States so far. Hyperbaric medicine, as an emerging interdisciplinary subject, has been applied in the treatment of cerebral vascular diseases since the 1960s. Now it is widely used to treat a variety of clinical disorders, especially hypoxia-...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute ischaemic stroke.
Background Most cases of stroke are caused by impairment of blood flow to the brain (ischaemia), which results in a reduction in available oxygen and subsequent cell death. It has been postulated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may reduce the volume of brain that will die by greatly increasing available oxygen, and it may further improve outcomes by reducing brain swelling. Some centres a...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy and preconditioning for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke
To date, the therapeutic methods for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke are still limited. The lack of oxygen supply is critical for brain injury following stroke. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), an approach through a process in which patients breathe in 100% pure oxygen at over 101 kPa, has been shown to facilitate oxygen delivery and increase oxygen supply. Hence, HBO possesses the potentials to produc...
