Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Stroke
Abstract: Approximately 40% of hemorrhagic stroke survivors develop hydrocephalus. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to be anti-inflammation following experimental stroke; however, its effect upon post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus formation is not known. The...
Abstract: The adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cardiac physiology are considered a potential hazard during the treatment of some patients. The haemodynamic effects of HBO are poorly understood and the incompatibility of electrical equipment inside the...
Abstract: Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are chronic inflammatory diseases in which cells suffer hypoxia referring to deprivation of adequate oxygen supply. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO), which can increase oxygen tension and delivery to...
Abstract: To observe the curative effect of acupuncture intervention combined with hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment for delayed encephalopathy in 32 carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning patients. A total of 62 CO poisoning encephalopathy patients were randomized into...
Abstract: Both, second generation perfluorochemicals (Oxycyte®) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) have been shown to reduce necrotic tissue volume if administered early after experimental cerebral ischemia. With the idea of exponentiation of oxygen delivery to ischemic...
Abstract: Adequate tissue oxygenation is an essential factor in diabetic foot management. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been successfully used as adjunctive treatment to improve the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. However, the clinical uses of HBO therapy are...
Abstract: Oxygen treatment has been a cornerstone of acute medical care for numerous pathological states. Initially, this was supported by the assumed need to avoid hypoxaemia and tissue hypoxia. Most acute treatment algorithms, therefore, recommended the liberal use...
Abstract: Air embolism is a preventable, often undiagnosed but potentially treatable cause of ischemic stroke with a high morbidity and mortality. It is usually iatrogenic ocurring especially in patients in ICU setting. We describe the case and neuroimaging of a...
Abstract: Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is a severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). CLI often causes disabling symptoms of pain and can lead to loss of the affected limb. It is also associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and death...
