Abstract: Burns represent a major cause of accidental death in industrialized countries. Before the recognition of the key role of aggressive volume resuscitation in successful management, early mortality was common secondary to burn shock. Salvage of patients with...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is used but unproven for many conditions, including burns. We hypothesized that HBO therapy might increase oxygen delivery to intestine during burn shock and decrease mucosal injury. University research laboratory. We studied the...
Abstract: Compressed air, and more recently hyperbaric oxygen, have been used and misused in medical treatment for more than 300 years. Advances in physiology have led to rational protocols for hyperbaric oxygen use. Hyperbaric oxygen will enhance wound healing by...
Abstract: Respiratory complications, especially pulmonary edema, account for over 50% of mortalities in inhalation injuries. This study was conducted to determine the effect of free radical scavengers and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in vivo on reducing pulmonary edema....
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided in specially designed pressure chambers is currently the treatment of choice for decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, and serious carbon monoxide poisoning. It is an important adjunct in the treatment of gas...
Abstract: The results of performance of 317 experimental and 1986 clinical procedures of hyperbaric oxygenation with the use of ointments and oils are summarized. The authors recommend to use the suggested technique for the treatment of patients with sluggish wounds,...
Abstract: To evaluate serial cyanide, methemoglobin, and carbon monoxide levels in smoke inhalation patients. Regional poison center and regional toxicology treatment center. Seven critically ill smoke inhalation patients referred to the regional poison center. Peak...
Abstract: Combustion toxicology is complex so, although victims exposed to combustion products are mainly treated symptomatically, it is important to identify those situations when specific therapeutic measures might be of importance. Victims presenting respiratory...
