Abstract: A 65 year old patient admitted with carbon monoxide poisoning developed acute pulmonary oedema during treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. After initial recovery he developed extensive intestinal ischaemia which rapidly led to death. It is suggested that...
Abstract: The experiment on 90 rabbits and 30 rats has been conducted to compare the effect of different regimes of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) (pressure of oxygen: 3 ata, 2 ata, oxygen-air mixture: 3 ata and 1 ata, respectively) on the morphofunctional state of...
Abstract: A procedure is described for the radioisotope assay of acetylcholine transferase activity (EC 2.3.1.6), which involved specific synthesis of acetylcholine in vivo. Bromine acetylcholine was used as an inhibitor of the enzyme; 14C-AcCoA was used as a...
Abstract: Death in normobaric hyperoxia was related in the past to pulmonary insufficiency of the edematous lung. However, high arterial O2 tension on final collapse led to the suggestion that the heart and not the lung is the first organ that fails. We measured...
Abstract: To evaluate the potential for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to produce transient improvement in function in areas of myocardium ischemic at rest (hibernating myocardium), 24 patients were studied within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction. Results were compared...
Abstract: The time course of serum levels of malonic dialdehyde and red blood cell activity of antioxidative enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, was assessed from the outcomes of hyperbaric oxygenation combined with antianginal therapy in...
Abstract: Altogether 22 patients with concomitant cardio-cerebral acute pathology underwent all-round examinations during and after sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). The highest clinical effect was produced by minor, substituting doses of HBO. The revealed...
Abstract: Experiments in 150 albino rats have revealed that hyperbaric oxygenation (303.98 kPa) causes no decrease in pulmonary tissue hyperhydration and its blood filling induced by pituitrin administration. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances pulmonary tissue...
Abstract: A study was made of the effect of continuous hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on the ECG and the clinical status of 60 patients with crush syndrome. Of these, 15 persons had acute renal failure (ARF). Before the treatment was started, the patients demonstrated...
Abstract: 210 patients with ischemic heart disease and heart failure, stage I, HA, IIB, aged 60 to 74 years, have been examined. The effect of HBO on central hemodynamics, gas composition and acid-base balance has been assessed. It has been established that HBO is...
