Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Anaerobic Bacterial Infection.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), as an adjuvant treatment in necrotizing soft tissues infections and in gas gangrene is reviewed, including its specific effects, experimental studies and clinical reports. With a global therapeutic management, considered as an...
Abstract: In the present study skeletal muscle PO2 measurements were performed in patients with gas gangrene and anaerobic soft tissue infections before, during and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Polarographic PO2 needle electrodes appeared to be suitable for...
Abstract: The examination of 45 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) caused by obstetric problems identified 3 types of its clinical course: 1) "pure" ARF; 2) ARF in the presence of sepsis, and 3) ARF in the presence of exogenous intoxication. Types 2 and...
Abstract: Clinicobacteriological examination was carried out in 31 patients with the crush syndrome (CS) and extensive damage to the soft tissues in combination with bone fractures complicated by wound infection. Inadequate surgical treatment in the early periods...
Abstract: The treatment of synergistic bacterial soft tissue infections includes usually surgical debridements and radical excisions of necrotic tissues, antibiotic therapy and volumic resuscitation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy did not prove efficient in these...
Abstract: The effect of 2 wk of topical hyperbaric oxygen (THO) treatment on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers without associated gangrene was evaluated in a prospective, controlled, and randomized manner in 28 patients. There were 12 patients in the THO group...
Abstract: Following trauma, wound contamination with aerobic and/or anaerobic bacteria should always be suspected. Treatment with antibacterial antibiotics should begin immediately in the emergency room, particularly for those patients with fractures. Patients with...

Abstract: Veillonella species is a gram-negative coccus which is part of the anaerobic normal flora in the oral cavity, small intestine, upper respiratory tract, vagina, and urinary tract. The role that this organism plays in infection is not well known, and it is...
