The effects of preconditioning coronary artery disease patients with hyperbaric oxygen prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery & cardiopulmonary bypass
… to myocardial dysfunction. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to limit myocardial injury and improve myocardial function. The primary efficacy objective of this study was to determine if systemically …

Pre-treatment of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with hyperbaric oxygen : a prospective randomised double-blind evaluation of inflammatory response and neurocognitive outcome
… human and animal studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen can reduce some of the mediators of inflammation. Evidence from animal experiments also suggest that pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen can induce cerebral and spinal ischaemic tolerance. Using the prospective randomised …

An investigation into the molecular mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen using a human dermal microvascular endothelial cell line and a porcine retinal explant model.
… (DR) and impaired wound healing in diabetes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) which involves breathing ≥ 95% oxygen at elevated pressures. It is used for the treatment of recalcitrant ulcers in diabetes. However, the exact molecular mechanism is …

Observational study of children with autism who have participated in hyperbaric oxgen therapy
… increase, so does the need for research.</p> <p>Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one alternative treatment parents are seeking for their child with autism. When one looks at the science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the physical condition of a child with autism the rationale behind the …

The hyperbaric incident monitoring study (HIMS) : an international study of incidents occuring in hyperbaric medicine units
Analyses incidents which occured in hyperbaric medicine units, or as a consequence of hyperbaric oxygen exposure, with the aim of developing recommendations for safety improvement in hyperbaric medical practice. A review of the hyperbaric literature showed that ear barotrauma is the most frequently …

The effect of stimulus threat on experimentally induced secondary hyperalgesia
… increased the area of secondary hyperalgesia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, emotional disclosure, spinal manipulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and placebo analgesia decreased the area of secondary hyperalgesia. Interestingly, the effects of emotional …

The evidence basis of diving and hyperbaric medicine - a synthesis of the high level clinical evidence with meta-analysis
Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the administration of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere. One recurrent criticism that has been made of this field is that treatment is based on little or no good clinical evidence. Aims: The primary objective of this thesis is to …

Laser-processed parchment paper for fabrication of chronic wound dressings with selective oxygenation
… A major inhibitor of healing is suboptimal oxygenation of the wound bed. Unlike acute injuries that receive sufficient oxygen via a functional blood vessel network, chronic wounds often suffer from the lack of a proper vascular network; thus being incapable of providing sufficient oxygen for …

The Effects of Altered Partial Pressures of Gas on Cognitive and Neural Function
Oxygen is central to neural function, yet the precise mechanisms and effects by which varying <br/>oxygen levels, whether through Hypoxia, Hyperoxia, or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), <br/>shape cognition and brain activity remain incomplete. This thesis adopts a novel, multi-modal …

Learning to breathe: the history of newborn resuscitation, 1929 to 1970
… Two techniques in particular, intragastric oxygen and hyperbaric oxygen, provide useful case-studies to reflect on the factors which influenced the development of newborn resuscitation during the twentieth-century. One important factor which is analysed in detail is the formation of a …

High-field Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Small Animal Models of Cardiovascular Disease
… treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hyperbaric oxygen (Ox). MRI results were compared to data acquired using histology and echocardiography. Although echocardiography was able to establish significant improvements in cardiac structure and function following MSC, Ox, and MSC+Ox …
