Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of subatmospheric pressure and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as adjuncts in the treatment of hypoxic full-thickness wounds in a rabbit model. We hypothesized that subatmospheric pressure and HBO independently are effective in improving...

Characteristics and outcome of children with carbon monoxide poisoning with and without smoke exposure referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcome of children with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning with and without smoke exposure referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and to determine the association between any of these characteristics and...
Extracorporeal support in an adult with severe carbon monoxide poisoning and shock following smoke inhalation: a case report.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to discuss the case of a patient with severe smoke inhalation-related respiratory failure treated with extracorporeal support. The study was set in a 12-bed multi-trauma intensive care unit at a level one trauma center and...
Frostbite: pathogenesis and treatment.
Abstract: Frostbite, once almost exclusively a military problem, is becoming more prevalent among the general population and should now be considered to be within the scope of the civilian physician's practice. Studies into the epidemiology of civilian frostbite have...
[Smoke poisoning].
Abstract: SYSTEMIC AND LOCAL EFFECT: Smoke inhalation causes systemic and local, mainly respiratory, toxicity due to the asphyxiant and irritant properties of toxic gases. The syndrome of oxygen deprivation and intoxication by asphyxiant gases is caused by...
