Stage III Kienböck’s disease treated with hyperbaric oxygen: the role of an unusual approach to a rare condition.
Abstract: Kienböck's disease is a rare condition characterised by avascular necrosis of the lunate bone. Its natural history and aetiopathogenesis have not yet been clarified, nor are its triggering factors identified. We present a case of a...
Clinical Trial – Spinal Anesthesia For Enhanced Recovery After Liver Surgery
This project proposes to compare epidural versus spinal anesthesia in patients having liver
resection surgery. The investigators hypothesize that spinal anesthesia will result in
improved blood pressure control postoperatively and reduce the amount of intravenous fluids
required after surgery. Spinal anesthesia is expected to provide the same pain control
benefits as epidurals, with faster recovery of function. Spinal anesthesia may be a simple
and effective way to improve and enhance the recovery in the increasing number of patients
requiring liver resection.
Efficacy of Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a common consequence resulting from radiation in patients with cancer. Presently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is proposed to have a role in improving wound healing in ORN patients. There is no strong...

Oxygen Therapy Can Help Reverse Sudden Hearing Loss
Article from Health Line discusses how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can help reverse Sensorineural Sudden Hearing Loss (SSHL), also known as Sudden Deafness. Researchers found hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help reverse this problem affecting...
Effects of Hyperbaric Oxgyen on Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis is a painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. A chronic pain disorder afflicting some 19 million adult Americans, arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the US. The most common types are osteoarthritis (OA)...
Delaying latency to hyperbaric oxygen-induced CNS oxygen toxicity seizures by combinations of exogenous ketone supplements.
Abstract: Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) manifests as tonic-clonic seizures and is a limitation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as well as of recreational and technical diving associated with elevated partial pressure of...
Convulsive seizure and pulmonary edema during hyperbaric oxygen therapy:A case report.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is widely performed to prevent delayed neuropsychiatric syndrome. Although HBOT can generally be performed with safety, the appropriate management of HBOT still remains...
Treatment with normobaric or hyperbaric oxygen and its effect on neuropsychometric dysfunction after carbon monoxide poisoning: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may result in acute neurological sequelae, cognitive sequelae, and delay neurological sequelae. The administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to prevent the development of delayed neurological sequelae in CO...
