The use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of orthopedic infections and problem wounds: an overview and case reports.
Abstract: We summarize indications, contraindications, and therapeutic guidelines for the use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in problem wounds and selected orthopaedic infections. Three typical cases that all were successfully treated with HBO are...
Suspected cyanide poisoning in smoke inhalation: complications of sodium nitrite therapy.
Abstract: A 78 year old man was found comatose, apneic, and asystolic after closed-space smoke inhalation. He was successfully resuscitated to pulse and blood pressure at the scene. A cyanide component to the poisoning was suspected and two 300 mg doses of sodium...
Lipid peroxidation products in postischemic skeletal muscle and after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Earlier studies from our laboratory have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment reduces edema, enhances aerobic metabolism and improves the recovery of the phosphorylase activity in postischemic rat skeletal muscle. However, as it has become...
[Experimental animal studies of the healing of burn wounds with the use of local antimicrobials and hyperbaric O2 therapy].
Abstract: Standardized burns without experimental infection and such with infection by a constant number of bacteria of a fixed Pseudomonas-aeruginosa-strain were treated differently. Silver sulfadiazine- and Cefsulodin-cream, Polyvidon-iodine-ointment (PVP-Jod), and...

Therapeutic hyperbaric oxygen: help or hindrance in burn patients with carbon monoxide poisoning?
Abstract: Although its efficacy is unproved, administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning is often carried out to prevent the development of acute and delayed neurologic sequelae. In burn patients with carbon monoxide...
