Abstract: Anemia is a common condition and is diagnosed on laboratory assessment. It is defined by abnormally low hemoglobin concentration or decreased red blood cells. Several classification systems exist. Laboratory markers provide important information. Acute...
Significance of Hyperbaric Oxygenation in the Treatment of Fournier’s Gangrene: A Comparative Study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), in addition to anti-infective and surgical therapy, seems to be a key treatment point for Fournier's gangrene. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of HBO therapy on the outcome and prognosis of Fournier's...

Effectiveness of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the Management of Chronic Osteomyelitis: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen has been used as an adjunctive measure in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. The aim of this systematic literature review was to analyze the outcome and the complications of hyperbaric oxygen for chronic osteomyelitis. Forty-five of 96...
Clinical Trial – Estimation of the Effective Dose (ED) 95 of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% for Scheduled Cesarean Delivery.
Prilocaine is a local anesthetic drug which as an intermediate duration of action shorter
than bupivacaine 0,5% that is usually used for spinal anesthesia in scheduled cesarean
section. No study has yet investigated the use of hyperbaric (HB) prilocaine 2% for
intrathecal anesthesia in cesarean section. The aim of this study is to determine the
Effective Dose (ED) 95 of hyperbaric (HB) prilocaine 2% by using the Continual Reassessment
Method (CRM)
Clinical Trial – Dosing of Carcinogenic Complexes After Anesthesia With Intrathecal Hyperbaric Prilocaine.
The prilocaine is a very common local anesthetic that has the disadvantage of being
metabolized to o-toluidine, a human carcinogen.
Hyperbaric 2% prilocaine (HP), recently developped, is increasingly used for spinal
anesthesia in ambulatory surgery. But the formation of carcinogenic metabolites induced by
the hyperbaric prilocaine is not yet known. The aim of this study is to investigate whether
the intrathecal administration of 50 mg hyperbaric prilocaine induces also the formation of
carcinogenic complexes such as urinary o-toluidine and hemoglobin adducts from o-toluidine in
blood.
Comparison of Two Different Treatment Protocols Using Systemic and Intratympanic Steroids with and without Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Severe to Profound Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of simultaneous steroid and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with severe to profound idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), which has a poor prognosis. Sixty patients diagnosed with...
The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a systematic review.
Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). An Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane search were utilised to identify various clinical trials on the treatment of ISSHL....
