متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for treating haemorrhagic cystitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From February 1997 to April 2004, seven patients with radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis were treated with HBO; they received a mean (range) of 30 (18-57) HBO treatments and the follow-up was 24 (3-53) months.
