چکیده
Thirty-nine patients with gastro enteric conditions that had proved refractory to conservative therapies such as antibiotics or drainage were treated with HBO between 2007 and 2012 in our department (Table 1). Patients were treated once a day in a hyperbaric chamber (BARA MED, Koike Medical, Tokyo, Japan) at a pressure of 2.0 atmospheres absolute and received 100% oxygen (Figure 1). Session duration was 60 min, and decompression was initiated at 15 min. Each patient provided written informed consent to undergo HBO.
