Abstract: Spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is not a 100% successful technique. At times, despite straightforward insertion and drug administration, intrathecal anesthesia for cesarean section fails to obtain any sensory or motor block. Very few studies and...
Chronic Heart Failure
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Postoperative Anemia: A Sign of Treatment Failure.

A Case of Survival: Myocardial Infarction and Ventricular Arrhythmia Induced by Severe Hydrogen Sulfide Poisoning.
Abstract: Most cases of acute hydrogen sulfide (H2S) poisoning in China are caused by sewage processing. With the rapid development of urbanization in China, H2S poisoning is showing an increasing trend. Here, we report a case of survival from severe H2S poisoning. A...
Cardioprotective Effects of Combined Therapy with Hyperbaric Oxygen and Diltiazem Pretreatment on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats.
Abstract: In this study, we examined whether the combination of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and diltiazem therapy provided a cardioprotective effect on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) rat model. Sixty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into...
Carbon monoxide and ST-elevation myocardial infarction: case reports.
Abstract: We describe two cases of myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram associated with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, a condition rarely reported in the literature. The first was a 62-year-old woman who experienced chest pain in the...
Low-dose Spinal Block With Continuous Epidural Infusion for Renal Transplantation in a Patient With Alport Syndrome: A Case Report.
Abstract: We aim to describe management of a patient receiving renal transplantation for chronic renal failure due to Alport syndrome with low dose of intrathecal bupivacaine and continuous epidural infusion of local anesthetic. A 38-years-old man with chronic renal...
Systemic air embolism causing acute stroke and myocardial infarction after percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy – a case report.
Abstract: The air embolism in this case was likely to have been caused by positioning the patient in a prone position, which was associated with the lesion to be biopsied being at a maximum height over the left atrium. Due to the resulting negative pressure, air...
Coronary gas embolism during a dive: a case report.
Abstract: A healthy scuba diver presented with a NSTEMI (non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction), pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum after diving. A 34-year-old woman with no significant medical history presented to the emergency department after an episode of...
Outcomes of Radiation Injuries Using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: An Observational Cohort Study.
Abstract: The late effects of radiation therapy following the treatment of cancer are a well-known consequence. Evidence increasingly supports the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as an adjunctive treatment in a variety of radiation injuries. To present the findings of...
