Treating Tinnitus with Hyperbaric Oxygenation.

Hyperbaric Oxygenation permits a controlled increase of the partial oxygen pressure in the blood. This technique can be used in cases of tinnitus and sudden deafness when the development in the inner ear and the brain lead to a lack of oxygen and so to a limited energy provision. The results to date allow the recommendation to apply an oxygen high pressure therapy when standard treatments have ...

Hyperbaric oxygenation in fluid microembolism.

Because clinicians require objectively demonstrable neurological deficits to confirm a diagnosis, the recognition of embolic events in the nervous system is generally restricted to the effects of ischemic necrosis produced by arterial occlusion. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown that lesser degrees of damage associated with small emboli are common, especially in the mid brain,...
