Hyperbaric oxygen for radiation injury: is it indicated?
the Cochrane review, with its emphasis on randomized controlled trials, does not advocate universal application of HBO2 to delayed radiation injuries. In the United States, third-party insurance entities will frequently reimburse for this application, but often a formal appeal will be required to obtain payment. In informal surveys of HBO2 practitioners at continuing medical education meetings ...
متن کاملA systematic review of the literature reporting the application of hyperbaric oxygen prevention and treatment of delayed radiation injuries: an evidence based approach.
The treatment of delayed radiation injuries (soft tissue and bony radiation necrosis) is one of thirteen conditions approved by the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society as appropriate indications for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2). This paper provides a systematic review of the literature reporting the results of HBO2 therapy in the treatment and/or proph...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen for neurologic indications--action plan for multicenter trials in: stroke, traumatic brain injury, radiation encephalopathy & status migrainosus.
The 2008 Toronto Hyperbaric Medicine Symposium was convened to discuss research into neurologic indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T). Four topics were particularly addressed: acute ischemic stroke; acute traumatic brain injury; brain radiation necrosis; and status migrainosus. Four multicenter trials were designed and proposed to evaluate the efficacy of HBO2T for these indications...
متن کاملChallenges with the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral radiation necrosis.
The incidence of radiation necrosis has increased secondary to greater use of combined modality therapy for brain tumors and stereotactic radiosurgery. Given that its characteristics on standard imaging are no different that tumor recurrence, it is difficult to diagnose without use of more sophisticated imaging and nuclear medicine scans, although the accuracy of such scans is controversial. Hi...
متن کاملUse of FDG PET to evaluate hyperbaric oxygen therapy for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
An 80-year-old man presented with painful swelling in the mandibular region and fistula with pus discharge that developed after tooth extractions. He had taken oral alendronate sodium hydrate and prednisolone for osteoporosis for five years. The lesion was diagnosed as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. FDG-PET revealed a high accumulation of FDG in the right mandibular region. Th...
