Application of hyperbaric oxygen in liver transplantation

چکیده
In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used in the treatment of a lot of diseases such as decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, carbon dioxide poisoning, soft tissue infection, refractory osteomyelitis, and problematic wound, but little is known about its application in liver transplantation. Although several studies have been conducted to investigate the protective effects of HBO on liver transplantation and liver preservation, there are still some controversies on this issue, especially its immunomodulatory effect. In this short review, we briefly summarize the findings supporting the application of HBO during liver transplantation (including donors and recipients).

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is known as a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis arising from genitourinary and colorectal infections. Misdiagnoses have occurred often because the initial presentation varies and is unclear. We report a case of FG in a 59-year-old man who had undergone a living donor liver transplant. He was in the maintenance phase of immunosuppressant treatment. FG occurred ra...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the severity of ischaemia, preservation and reperfusion injury in a rat model of liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND Approaches to increase organ availability for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) often result in the procurement of marginal livers that are more susceptible to ischaemia, preservation and reperfusion injury (IPRI). METHODS The effects of post-OLT hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on IPRI in a syngeneic rat OLT model were examined at various time-points. The effects of IPRI a...
