Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Burns.
Abstract: Invasive measurement of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) by blood gas analysis (BGA) is accepted as the standard diagnostic procedure in diagnosis of inhalation injury and carbon monoxide (CO) intoxications. The main disadvantage of BGA with COHb testing is the...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been used clinically to treat a variety of ailments, including severe burns and carbon monoxide poisoning, and in research settings has produced promising results when used to treat animal models of inflammatory pain....

Abstract: Direct spectrophotometry has been recognized as a standard reference method in the treatment of victims of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Recently, Masimo (USA) has developed a pulse oximeter for the detection of HbCO. Using new probes, similar to those...

Abstract: Inhalation injury consists of a multitude of insults, the first of which is the toxic gases inhaled during the combustion of organic and inorganic substances. Significant morbidity and mortality in patients with burn injury occur due to the varying effects...
Abstract: Studies aimed at recovering the zone of stasis are one of the major issues of experimental burn studies. Hypoxia and oedema at that zone may cause irreversible changes. Due to anti-oedematous and antihypoxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), it...
Abstract: The authors report their experience with 34 patients who had large full thickness nasal defects reconstructed with an implant-retained prosthesis. Their technique of modifying post-rhinectomy defects is described and factors influencing implant success are...
