HEART PRESERVATION IN VITRO WITH HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION AND HYPOTHERMIA

Treating Tinnitus with Hyperbaric Oxygenation.

Hyperbaric Oxygenation permits a controlled increase of the partial oxygen pressure in the blood. This technique can be used in cases of tinnitus and sudden deafness when the development in the inner ear and the brain lead to a lack of oxygen and so to a limited energy provision. The results to date allow the recommendation to apply an oxygen high pressure therapy when standard treatments have ...

Drug Interactions with Hyperbaric Oxygenation

Hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing.

The purpose of this article is to review literature related to hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing. The article discusses the role of oxygen in wound healing, as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation to promote wound healing, and focuses on the use of hyperbaric oxygenation to treat foot wounds in patients with diabetes. A review of salient literature to support the use of hyperbar...

Hyperbaric oxygenation in fluid microembolism.

Because clinicians require objectively demonstrable neurological deficits to confirm a diagnosis, the recognition of embolic events in the nervous system is generally restricted to the effects of ischemic necrosis produced by arterial occlusion. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown that lesser degrees of damage associated with small emboli are common, especially in the mid brain,...

Preservation of canine lung for re-implantation using hypothermia and hyperbaric oxygen. Survival following contralateral pneumonectomy.

Forty dogs were submitted to left pneumonectomy. The resected lungs were subjected to varying periods of time in a hyperbaric and hypothermic chamber. Several variations of this method are described. The lungs were then re-implanted. The immediate and subsequent results as to function, microscopic and macroscopic findings, radiography, and radioisotope scans are mentioned. The survival time aft...
