Emergency department management of house fire burns and carbon monoxide poisoning in children.

Abstract: Fires continue to be a major killer of children, accounting for as many as 34% of fatal injuries in those younger than 16 years of age. Recent advances in burn care have improved to the extent that attention is being refocused on the initial resuscitation...

[Indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Organization of the treatment unit. Training of personnel].

Abstract: Pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the application of HBO therapy are poorly understood that may limit its clinical use. However, useful indications are well standardized in the setting of critical care medicine, CO poisoning, decompression sickness,...

[Lymphocyte subpopulations in spleen and blood after early wound debridement and acute/chronic treatment with hyperbaric oxygen].

Abstract: Thermal burns as well as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) may cause immuno-suppression. This is one of the reasons why there is some controversy in the literature regarding adjuvant HBO treatment for thermal burn patient, despite the fact that HBO is known to...

Hyperbaric oxygen reduces ischemia-induced skeletal muscle injury.

Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on skeletal muscle submitted to 3 or 4 hours of ischemia was studied in a rat hindlimb model after 48 hours of reperfusion. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated to four groups. In the two treatment...

Cardiovascular deconditioning occurs during a 7-day saturation dive at 31 ATA.

Abstract: Cardiovascular deconditioning (CD) has been reported to occur within 24-48 h of exposure to 4, 11, or 31 ATA environment and following decompression to sea level pressure. The CD was indicated by orthostatic intolerance, exaggerated cardiovascular responses...

Omental pedicle used to manage a large dorsal wound in a dog.

Abstract: An eight-year-old miniature schnauzer was presented with full thickness skin necrosis over most of the back, probably caused by a chemical burn. Management consisted of debridement, bandaging, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, topical application of tris-EDTA and...

Cardiac problems associated with burns.

Abstract: Burns represent a major cause of accidental death in industrialized countries. Before the recognition of the key role of aggressive volume resuscitation in successful management, early mortality was common secondary to burn shock. Salvage of patients with...
