Recent Advances in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research & Studies

By: Tarun Sahni, S. Hukku, Madhur Jain, Arun Prasad, Rajendra Prasad, Kuldeep Singh Hyperbaric Medicine is the fascinating use of barometric pressure for delivering increased oxygen dissolved in plasma to body tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a form of treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure that is greater than 1 atmosphere […]

Oxygen: Miracle Healer

Research & Studies

The era of hyperbaric oxygen has finally arrived. A high-tech treatment that administers 100 percent oxygen at controlled pressures, forcing healing oxygen deep into tissues, has long been medically approved to treat conditions like bone infection, tissue necrosis caused by serious burns, or carbon monoxide poisoning. But until recently, most hyperbaric chambers were located in hospitals. Now centers are springing […]

HBOT and Neurological Conditions

Research & Studies

Dr. Pierre Marois’s Abstract International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine October 2nd 2002 San Francisco, Ca The results of the sole double blind study on the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of cerebral palsy were published last year in “ The Lancet”. Although the results show substantial and long-term improvements in gross motor function, speech, attention, memory […]

New Hope for the Neurologic Damaged Child, Cerebral Palsy, Anoxic Ishemic Encephalopathy and Traumatic Brain Injury

Research & Studies

By: Neubauer RA, James PB. Cerebral oxygenation and the recoverable brain. Neuro Res: 20 (Suppl 1) S33-S36, 1998. A new era of therapy is now advancing for the treatment of neurologically disabled children at the Ocean Hyperbaric Center. In the United Kingdom there is a charity for CP (cerebral palsy) and the TBI (traumatic brain injury) child utilizing HBO (hyperbaric […]

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 […]

Research & Studies

[Lecba ischemickych mozkovych cevnich prihod hyperbaroxii.] Vnitr Lek 1992 Jul;38(7):645-50 (ISSN: 0042-773X) Berger J; Emmerova M; Hadravsky M; Kratky M; Vetrovcova J; Berkova E Neurologicka klinika FN Plzen. The authors present eleven year’s experience with comprehensive treatment of patients who suffered an ischemic cerebrovascular attack. This comprises so-called conventional treatment of cerebrovascular attacks and also hyperbaroxia, i.e. administration of oxygen […]

Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Treated by 1.5 ATA Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research & Studies

By: Kevin F. Barrett, M.D.; Kevan P. Corson, Certified Hyperbaric Technician; Jon T. Mader, M.D. Objective To determine if 1.5 ATA hyperbaric oxygen therapy can ameliorate the neurologic deficits associated with pediatric cerebral palsy. Background Numerous anecdotal reports attest to the amelioration of neurologic deficits in a variety of chronic cerebral insults including cerebral palsy. Improvement is attributed to the […]

Neuropsychological Effects Of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy In Cerebral Palsy

Research & Studies

Source: Developmental Medicine and child neurology. 2002 Jul; 44(7): 436-46 Test Groups: Active Treatment Group- 100% Oxygen at 1.75 ATA Sham Treatment Group- Ambient Air at 1.3 ATA Test Subjects: 75 children diagnosed with CP aged 4 to 12 years Conclusion: No statistical difference was found between the two treatments. The sham group improved significantly on eight dimensions of the […]

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy In The Prevention Of Delayed Deterioration And Cerebral Palsy Following Periventricular Damage In The Newborn

Research & Studies

Phillip B James, Wolfson Hyperbaric Medicine Unit, Ninewells Medical School, The University of Dundee, Scotland Introduction The introduction of routine ultrasound screening in premature neonates can reveal evidence of cerebral damage prior to the development of clinical signs. Although far from being a sensitive tool, ultrasound can demonstrate the gross forms of periventricular hemorrhage and edema that characterize this form […]
