Abstract: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is an otologic emergency with an incidence of about 5-20 per 100,000 of the population per year. There is no universally accepted standard protocol for the treatment of patients with ISSNHL. Hyperbaric...
Chronic Heart Failure
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Hyperthermia occurred after hyperbaric oxygen therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Lee, Ryu, Lee, Kim, Yoo, You, , , (2010). Hyperthermia occurred after hyperbaric oxygen therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning. The American journal of emergency medicine, 2010 Sep;28(7):845.e5-6. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20837274
Anti-apoptotic effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on a rat model of myocardial infarction.
Abstract: In our previous study, it was indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HOP) could induce a preconditioning against myocardial infarction and promote neovascularization. In this study, attempts were made to investigate whether a modified short-term...
Early detection of myocardial viability by hyperbaric oxygenation in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) could transiently reverse hypoxia during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In order to evaluate whether early HBO can identify viable segments after AMI, improvement of wall motion score index (WMSI) after HBO was compared...
Hyperbaric oxygen: its application in cardiology: a historical perspective and personal journey.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) was first used by placing a patient with the "bends" in a pressure chamber and increasing the pressure to 3 atm with 100% oxygen. It was soon recognized that HBO could also facilitate wound healing in infected ischemic...
Hyperbaric oxygenation applied immediately after coronary occlusion reduces myocardial necrosis and acute mortality in rats.
Abstract: 1. Because in ischaemia there is a critical lack of O2, it has been reasoned that increasing O2 delivery to the ischaemic myocardium could serve as adjunctive therapy for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Accordingly, in the present study, the effect of...
Iron overload and toxicity: the hidden risk of multiple blood transfusions.
Abstract: The quantity of iron in body is carefully regulated, primarily by control of iron absorption, and excess total body iron can be extremely toxic. Since humans have no mechanism for elimination of excess iron, multiple transfusions of red blood cells, which...
Massive systemic air embolism during percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of a primary lung tumor.
Abstract: We report the case of a systemic air embolism occurring during pulmonary radiofrequency ablation. At the end of the procedure, the patient experienced a sudden myocardial infarction, complicated by ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and cerebral...
[Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygenation and erythropoietin in the treatment of chronic heart failure using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy G-SPECT].
Abstract: The most important predictors of long-term survival in patients with cardiac ischemic disease are left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes, infarction size, presence and extent of residual myocardial ischemia. One of the most important...
