Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Necrotizing Fasciitis
Abstract: The Recompression Treatment Centre on Stonecutters Island has been operating in Hong Kong for more than 5 years and has been used to treat a variety of diving-related and other conditions by means of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Up to the end of December 1997,...
Abstract: This article reviews the demographics, presentation, cause, clinical findings, and treatment of 12 cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin. A retrospective chart review of 12 cases treated between 1987 and 1997 was done. Most cases...
Abstract: Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a group of highly lethal infections that typically occur after trauma or surgery. Many individual infectious entities have been described, but they all have similar pathophysiologies, clinical features, and treatment...
Abstract: The results of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy in surgical treatment of 44 patients with traumatic injuries of major arteries of the extremities were analysed. Associated injuries of the veins were observed in 27 (61.4%) patients, damages to the nerves--in 32...
Abstract: To report a case of necrotizing fasciitis after cosmetic blepharoplasty. Case report. A 74-year-old woman with history of type II diabetes mellitus underwent bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Postoperatively she developed fever, grayish discoloration of...
Abstract: We review the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in urology, and present the mechanisms of hyperoxia action in whole body hyperbaric chamber treatments, patient outcomes and patient selection criteria. The literature on hyperbaric oxygen use in urology was...
