Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism.
We describe our experience using HBO2 therapy for iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) in this retrospective review of nineteen patients treated for iatrogenic CAGE, from 1987 to 1999. Immediately after treatment, five patients completely resolved all signs and symptoms, eleven had improvement, one had no change, and two were not assessable. Within two months post treatment, three a...

متن کاملCerebral gas embolism absorption during hyperbaric therapy: theory.
Cerebral gas embolism is a serious consequence of diving. It is associated with decompression sickness and is assumed to cause severe neurological dysfunction. A mathematical model previously developed to calculate embolism absorption time based on in vivo bubble geometry is used in which various conditions of hyperbaric therapy are considered. Effects of varying external pressure and inert gas...
متن کاملSuccessful late treatment of venous air embolism with hyperbaric oxygen.
A case of haemodialysis-associated venous air embolism is described. The patient commenced hyperbaric oxygen therapy 21 hours after the event when, despite appearing decerebrate, he made a complete recovery. This case underlines the importance of all clinicians being aware of those centres with facilities for hyperbaric therapy and the need to refer all patients with cerebral air embolism even ...
