Stage III Kienböck’s disease treated with hyperbaric oxygen: the role of an unusual approach to a rare condition.
Abstract: Kienböck's disease is a rare condition characterised by avascular necrosis of the lunate bone. Its natural history and aetiopathogenesis have not yet been clarified, nor are its triggering factors identified. We present a case of a 17-year-old male gymnast,...
Efficacy of Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a common consequence resulting from radiation in patients with cancer. Presently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is proposed to have a role in improving wound healing in ORN patients. There is no strong scientific evidence to...

Delaying latency to hyperbaric oxygen-induced CNS oxygen toxicity seizures by combinations of exogenous ketone supplements.
Abstract: Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) manifests as tonic-clonic seizures and is a limitation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as well as of recreational and technical diving associated with elevated partial pressure of oxygen. A previous study...
Convulsive seizure and pulmonary edema during hyperbaric oxygen therapy:A case report.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is widely performed to prevent delayed neuropsychiatric syndrome. Although HBOT can generally be performed with safety, the appropriate management of HBOT still remains unestablished. A...
Treatment with normobaric or hyperbaric oxygen and its effect on neuropsychometric dysfunction after carbon monoxide poisoning: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may result in acute neurological sequelae, cognitive sequelae, and delay neurological sequelae. The administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to prevent the development of delayed neurological sequelae in CO poisoning have...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ameliorates osteonecrosis in patients by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress.
Abstract: Early stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) can be conservatively treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This study investigated how HBOT modulates inflammatory markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in patients with AVNFH....
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Side Effects – Where Do We Stand?
Abstract: I recently had the opportunity to present this topic at the ACCWS 7th Annual Symposium. The following is a synopsis of that presentation. We use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for a variety of both elective and emergent indications. It is always important...
