Animal studies have shown that preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen can induce central
nervous system and heart ischemic tolerance. This study was designed to determine the
protective effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on brain and myocardium
ischemia-reperfusion injury during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract: Fournier’s gangrene (FG) represents a necrotizing infection of the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue of the external genitalia and perineum. It arises as a result of propagation of anorectal, urogenital and skin infections. The principles of treatment...

There is currently not sufficient evidence that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) benefits the surgical
removal of necrotic bone in osteoradionecrosis patients. This study aims at testing the
hypothesis that HBO does improve healing after surgical removal of necrotic bone in
irradiated previous head and neck cancer patients compared to not receiving HBO.
