Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning induces tolerance against spinal cord ischemia by upregulation of antioxidant enzymes in rabbits

The present study examined the hypothesis that spinal cord ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning is triggered by an initial oxidative stress and is associated with an increase of antioxidant enzyme activities as one effector of the neuroprotection. New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to HBO preconditioning, hyperbaric air (HBA) preconditioning, or sham …

Hyperbaric Oxygen Alleviates Secondary Brain Injury After Trauma Through Inhibition of TLR4/NF-kB Signaling Pathway

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen in secondary brain injury after trauma and its mechanism in a rat model. Material/Methods: A rat model of TBI was constructed using the modified Feeney’s free-fall method, and 60 SD rats were random-ly divided into three groups – the sham group, …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ameliorates osteonecrosis in patients by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress

Early stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) can be conservatively treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This study investigated how HBOT modulates inflammatory markers and reactiveoxygen species (ROS) in patients with AVNFH. Twenty-three male patients were treated with two cycles of HBOT, 30 sessions each with a 30 days break between cycles. …

Osteoclastic resorptive capacity is suppressed in patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Background and purpose — Hypoxia, necrosis, and bone loss are hallmarks of many skeletal diseases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is often used as an adjunctive therapy in these cases. However the in vivo effect of HBO on osteoclast formation has not been fully established. We therefore carried out a longitudinal study to examine the effect …

Can hyperbaric oxygen be used to prevent deep infections in neuro-muscular scoliosis surgery?

AbstractBackground: The prevalence of postoperative wound infection in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis surgery is significantly higher than that in patients with other spinal surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen has been used as a supplement to treat postsurgical infections. Our aim was to determine beneficiary effects of hyperbaric oxygentreatment in terms of prevention of postoperative deep infection in …

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on bone prefabrication in rats

Objectives: This experimental study aimed to create a prefabricated vascularized bone graft using the interconnected porous coralline hydroxyapatite ceramic by combining vascular bundle implantation, mesenchymal stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) administration in a rat model. Methods: Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, each containing 15 rats. The hydroxyapatite ceramics were …

Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen on Proliferation and Differentiation of Osteoblasts from Human Alveolar Bone

In view of the controversy of the clinical use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to stimulate fracture healing and bone regeneration, we have analysed the effects of daily exposure to HBO on the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts in vitro. HBO stimulated proliferation when osteoblasts were cultured in 10% foetal calf serum (FCS), whereas …

The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Crush Injuries

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been approved for primary or adjunctive care in 14 indications.A hyperbaric environment exists when a patient’s whole body is physically exposed to 100%oxygen and pressure that is greater than one atmosphere absolute. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works through the ideal gas laws and is effective as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment …

A Multistep Iter for Functional Reconstruction in Mangled Upper Limb: A Retrospective Analysis of Integrated Surgical and Medical Approach

Abstract: Background and objectives: Complex limb wounds with multiple tissue involvement are commonly due to high energy trauma. Tissue damage is a dynamic entity and the exact extent of the injury is rarely instantly perceptible. Hence, reconstruction frequently involves a multi-stage procedure concluding with tissue replacement. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between …

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy indispensable for saving mutilated hand injuries

AbstractMutilated hand injuries are a profound challenge to the plastic surgeon, and suchinjuries often lead to limb loss and severe functional impairment. Hyperbaric oxygentherapy (HBOT) appears to counteract tissue hypoxia and stimulate acute woundhealing. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of HBOT as an adjunctivetherapy in patients with a mutilated hand injury. Between …
