Hyperbaric Oxygenation

Hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing.

The purpose of this article is to review literature related to hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing. The article discusses the role of oxygen in wound healing, as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation to promote wound healing, and focuses on the use of hyperbaric oxygenation to treat foot wounds in patients with diabetes. A review of salient literature to support the use of hyperbar...

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,...

Drug Interactions with Hyperbaric Oxygenation

Hyperbaric Oxygenation (ohp) in Massive Pulmonary Embolism.

cardiovascular surgery, pulmonary embolism remains the most serious postoperative complication. All efforts should be directed at eliminating the factors that contribute to its incidence. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in its treatment after Cooley and BealI1 reported the first successful pulmonary embolectomy using cardiopulmonary bypass in 1961. Around the same time hyperbaric...
