Abstract: To assess neurological sequelae in patients with all grades of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric oxygen (NBO). Randomised controlled double-blind trial, including an extended series of...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for deep second degree burns: an experimental study in the guinea pig.
Abstract: Most previous animal studies reporting improved epithelialisation and healing of burn wounds under hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) did not include the conventional treatment with topical antibiotics as part of the protocol, and did not compare the effectiveness of...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment enhances regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve was studied. The sciatic nerve was crushed with a pair of pliers and the animals were either left untreated or subjected to a series of 45-min exposures to 100% O2 at...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on a burn wound model in human volunteers.
Abstract: A previous nonblinded study has suggested beneficial effects from hyperbaric oxygen treatment of superficial partial-thickness radiation burns in human volunteers. This protocol was designed to either confirm or challenge these previous findings in a...
Management of the acute burn wound: an overview.
Abstract: Goals for managing an acute burn wound are similar to those of other wounds such that infection and scar formation are minimized, a moist wound environment is provided, and the surrounding tissue is protected from trauma. A variety of cleansing techniques...
A randomized prospective trial of hyperbaric oxygen in a referral burn center population.
Abstract: Various studies of the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in a wide variety of disease entities have been carried out. In the treatment of burns, animal and human studies have yielded somewhat contradictory results. Controlled studies in humans are limited. A...
Accidental radiation injury to the hand: anatomical and physiological considerations.
Abstract: A case study describing an accident in Mexico caused by failure to de-energize an x-ray spectrometer prior to repair is presented. The evolution, medical management, and outcome of the radiation injury to the hand are briefly reviewed. A discussion follows,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and piracetam decrease the early extension of deep partial-thickness burns.
Abstract: During the first 24 h, a progression of the burn wound in histological depth or extension is often noted. This can only partially be prevented by the routinely used protocols of fluid resuscitation and burn wound dressing. In a rat model of 5% TBSA burn,...
