Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Calcium Chloride Extravasation Injuries: an Experimental Animal Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extravasation of intravenous fluids is a major cause of morbidity in pediatric population. Age is a risk factor for extravasation possibly due to need for smaller catheters and inability to communicate pain as an early warning sign. The prevalence of extravasation injuries resulting in skin necrosis recorded as 38 per 1000 neonates (1). Several factors play role in extravasation injuries including solution osmolality, tissue toxicity, vasoconstrictor properties, infusion pressure and regional anatomical peculiarity (2,3). Peripheral catheters are widely used in sick neonates and children. Variety of commonly used intravenous fluids have been shown to cause significant tissue damage such as antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, potassium, sodium bicarbonate, anticonvulsants and calcium (1,4).

متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen effects on sports injuries.
In the last decade, competitive sports have taken on a whole new meaning, where intensity has increased together with the incidence of injuries to the athletes. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop better and faster treatments that allow the injured athlete to return to competition faster than with the normal course of rehabilitation, with a low risk of re-injury. Hyperbaric therapies a...
متن کاملProposed Mechanisms of Action of Selected Antioxidant Defences Induced by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proved as an important tool in healing of CO poisoning, necrosis, ischemic wounds, inflammatory diseases or brain injuries. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in healing potential of HBOT however potential side effects must be taken into account. Equally important is also duration of HBOT. We can conclude, that despite several decades of HBOT...
متن کاملEffect of hyperbaric oxygen on the regeneration of experimental crush injuries of nerves.
Hyperbaric oxygen has been successfully used on treatment of acute ischemic injuries involving soft tissues and chronic injuries. In nerve crush injuries, the mechanisms involved are very similar to those found in ischemic injuries. Consequently, it is logical to hypothesize that hyperbaric oxygen should improve nerve repair, which is a critical step on functional recovery. In the present study...
