Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on microcirculation: use in therapy of retinal vascular disorders.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The physiopathologic effects of oxygen, especially under hyperbaric conditions, on the retina and microcirculation were reviewed. The therapeutic effects of oxygen on ischemic (vascular) retinal disorders toere evaluated in 7 cases—2 with central retinal artery occlusion, one with exudative disciform retinopaihy, one with central serous retinopathy, and 3 with diabetic retinopathy. Whereas no definite improvement in the visual function teas noted under oxygen therapy, the changes in the scotoma related to vascular occlusion and angioscotoma and the vasodilatation noted in diabetic retinopathy are phenomena previously not described and whose significance is yet to be defined.

[The potentials for hyperbaric oxygenation in the combined treatment of the victims of explosive mine wounds to the extremities].
Hyperbaric oxygenation was used in the combined post-operative treatment of 63 victims with distal segments of lower extremities torn off or damaged by mine and burst effect. The patients consecutively received medicamentous therapy, which improved tissue microcirculation (rheopolyglucinum, haemodesum), surgical intervention, course of hyperbaric oxygenation, and after it anticoagulant preparat...
متن کاملAdjunctive hyperbaric oxygenation in macular edema of vascular origin.
Macular edema (ME) is a primary reason for permanent decreases of visual acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The standard treatment (photocoagulation, rheological treatment) provide only a limited success. We have therefore studied the additional use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO2) in patients with persistent ME. Five patients (1 female, 4 male; 7 eyes) were treate...

Aims: To quantify retinal vascular change during and after hyperbaric oxygenation (HO) for 665 weekly 90 minute treatments. Methods: Fundus photographs were taken before, during, and after HO at 2.5 atmospheres absolute pressure (ATA) on days 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 29, and 30 of treatment on three patients using a specially developed hand held ophthalmoscope with a digital colour camera. Blood vessel...
متن کاملEffect of hyperbaric oxygenation on brain hemodynamics, hemoglobin oxygenation and mitochondrial NADH.
To determine the HbO(2) oxygenation level at the microcirculation, we used the hyperbaric chamber. The effects of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) were tested on vitality parameters in the brain at various pressures. Microcirculatory hemoglobin oxygen saturation (HbO(2)), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and mitochondrial NADH redox state were assessed in the brain of awake restrained rats using a fiber o...
متن کاملThe efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency. Various treatment modalities have been tried, but none have shown to alter natural history of the disease. Hyperoxia can restore retinal oxygenation, and favourable results were obtained with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). We report two patients with sudden visual loss due to CRAO treated with HBOT. Case 1: a 61-year-o...
