Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is effective in augmenting the delivery of oxygen to tissue, but also causes oxidative stress. As part of our focus on improving peripheral nerve salvage from ischemic fiber degeneration, we evaluated whether hyperbaric oxygenation...
Abstract: Continuous spinal anaesthesia is an established technique in which renewed interest has been generated by the availability of small bore catheters suitable for use in the subarachnoid space. Problems include technical difficulty, post dural puncture headache...
Abstract: Three patients fulfilling criteria for Sudeck's atrophy (reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome--RSDS) are described and etiological, pathogenetic and clinical features of the disease are reviewed. RSDS is associated with a wide variety of precipitating...
Abstract: Snyder, Hui, Flugstad, Viarengo, , , , , (1994). More cases of possible neurologic toxicity associated with single subarachnoid injections of 5% hyperbaric lidocaine. Anesthesia and analgesia, 1994...
Abstract: Diabetic foot wounds are consequences of the neuropathy and the small and large vessel disease that complicate diabetes. At the cellular level, the result is hypoxia which impairs wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may be a useful adjuvant to wound...
Abstract: Continuous spinal anaesthesia has a number of advantages, but there are a number of drawbacks as well: difficulties in threading the catheter, distribution of the local anaesthetics and the development of cauda equina syndrome. Spinaloscopy was done to...
Abstract: To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic diabetic foot lesions, a prospective controlled study was undertaken. Thirty diabetics with chronic foot lesions were randomised to study group (conventional management and 4 sessions of hyperbaric...
Abstract: Cauda equina syndrome has been reported recently in patients receiving continuous spinal anesthesia using newly developed microcatheters (28 gauge). Failure of microcatheters to allow adequate mixing of local anesthetic was studied as a possible mechanism of...
Abstract: 114 patients with peripheral nerve injury were treated microsurgically. 54 patients with 65 nerve injuries were given hyperbaric oxygen as supplementary treatment. The excellent and good results of the 65 nerves accounted for 89.2%, but of those nerves in...
