Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Burns.
Abstract: The results of the present experiments showed that The general post-burn edema in a scald burn model was reduced with HBO treatment and the water content in the contralateral unburned mouse ear did not statistically significantly differ from that of...
Abstract: The vast majority of respiratory disorders in thermally injured patients arise from associated inhalation injuries. The major forms of these injuries are carbon monoxide poisoning, injury to the upper airway, and pulmonary parenchymal damage. One hundred per...
Abstract: Standardised third degree burn injuries were produced in guinea pigs and a standardized pseudomonas aeruginosa infection model was used. Therapy with oxygen under high pressure (OHP) was initiated for not experimentally infected burn wounds and for wounds...
Abstract: Thermal destruction of skin may result in severe local and systemic physiologic alterations. Although a majority of minor burns may be treated on an outpatient basis, the foot requires special consideration. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology,...
Abstract: We present the cases of three patients with skin blisters following carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Their blisters appeared to be related to the severity of the poisoning (HbCO levels of more than 40%). Two of the three patients died despite aggressive...
Abstract: Clostridial infections, particularly myonecrosis, can be fulminant and fatal; they often arise without an obvious history of trauma. The cardinal diagnostic clues (Figure 3) must be recognized so that specific therapy can be initiated promptly and mortality...
Abstract: Five patients with smoke inhalation from house fires presented to the hospital in a comatose state. Carboxyhemoglobin levels were elevated in all five patients, mean=32% +/- 6. Arterial blood gases revealed the following means: pH 7.16 +/- 0.06; PCO2 35 mm...

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been advocated as an adjuvant in the therapy of thermal burns. One of the positive effects was reported to be a decrease in fluid requirements. The effect of HBO on oedema formation was evaluated in the burned area and in distant...
