Platelet function in humans is not altered by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

چکیده
A pilot survey of platelet function was performed on 6 patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (2.0 ATA O2 for 2 hours, 6 days/week) for prophylaxis against osteoradionecrosis. Blood was drawn immediately prior to and after the first, tenth and twentieth treatment for measurements of platelet aggregation, ATP release and expression of activated alphalIb3 integrin. No significant differences were observed due to hyperbaric oxygen exposures.

2008 Volume 1 No 2 Wound Healing Southern Africa The therapeutic range for oxygen therapy is an inspired oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) of 1.5 to 3 times atmospheric pressure (ATA). Higher oxygen pressures (> 3 ATA) are too toxic for clinical use. There are five groups of therapeutic mechanisms attributed to hyperbaric oxygen use: • Hyperoxygenation • Vasoconstriction • Neovascularisation (angi...

متن کاملThe effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on blood vessel function in diabetes mellitus.
Prolonged untreated diabetes mellitus leads to microangiopathy, tissue hypoxia and ischemic lesions; it increases the risk for stroke and exacerbates brain tissue damage following ischemia. Patients exhibit advanced atherosclerosis in coronary and cerebral arteries as well as enhanced vascular responsiveness to vasoconstrictors, an attenuated response to vasodilators and impaired autoregulation...
