Abstract: Many cases of cauda equina syndrome after maldistribution of local anesthetics during continuous spinal anesthesia have been reported. In experiments, a caudad route of catheter travel and the use of hyperbaric agents have been shown to induce these limited...
Peripheral Neuropathy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
Wound healing. New modalities for a new millennium.
Abstract: Common to all studies of wound healing modalities is the need to convert the chronic wound into an acute wound and to maintain the wound in an acute state while subsequently using adjunctive therapy. Hence, precise control and documentation of wound care is...
[The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on ophthalmic artery blood velocity in patients with diabetic neuropathy].
Abstract: We investigated changes in the blood velocity of the ophthalmic artery to observe its relationship to the complication of diabetes mellitus before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Color Doppler imaging (Toshiba, SSA-260A) was used. In this study,...
Peripheral neurologic deficits in relation to subarachnoid or epidural administration of local anesthetics for surgery. A survey of 21 cases.
Abstract: Recent case reports have suggested that subarachnoid or epidural administration of local anesthetics may cause peripheral neurologic deficits. To describe the course and evaluate possible risk factors of such reactions, 21 reports in the Swedish adverse drug...
[The treatment of a complex regional pain syndrome].
Abstract: 35 patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) were treated by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and caffetin preparation. A significant decrease of pain was observed in all the patients after the treatment course. Intensity of pain was diminished...
Adjunctive systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treatment of severe prevalently ischemic diabetic foot ulcer. A randomized study.
Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy (s HBOT) in addition to a comprehensive protocol in decreasing major amputation rate in diabetic patients hospitalized for severe foot ulcer. From August 1993 to August 1995, 70 diabetic...
Is hyperbaric oxygen a useful adjunct in the management of problem lower extremity wounds?
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is currently being used in the treatment of nonhealing or "problem" wounds of the lower extremities. In an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of HBO in problem wounds, a retrospective study of the HBO experience at Orlando...
Transient radicular irritation as a complication of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lignocaine.
Abstract: Albrecht, Hogg, Robinson, , , , , , (1996). Transient radicular irritation as a complication of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lignocaine. Anaesthesia and intensive care, 1996 Aug;24(4):508-10. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8862655
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome in a diver: evidence of peripheral nervous system involvement in decompression illness.
Abstract: Conclusive evidence for involvement of the peripheral nervous system in decompression illness is lacking. We report a case of decompression illness associated with shoulder pain and the clinical features of median nerve injury at the wrist. Initial...
