A New Method of Treating Brian Injured Children in a Barochamber

Research & Studies

By: NATALIA V. KAZANTSEVA, M.D., Moscow, Russia Background: Our studies have shown that the use of lower surplus pressure values compared with traditional HBO is accomplished by an increased in the clinical effects. We have worked out new therapeutic regimens of using surplus pressure – hyperbaric treatments (HBT) in 1993 and minimized hyperbaric treatment (MHT) in 1996 leading to a […]
